I think Erik's post was the "flipside" of one of mine, way back in the thread. "Euphoria You Have Known" seems to invite an element of retrospect.
However...
The Third Day of Yogurt.
Today is the Third Day of Yogurt and I am glad.
I have taken the pot from the refrigerator.
Twice prior to this I have scooped out a third of it
To plop on the muesli and fruit in the china dish
And put the pot back. But today it is the Third Day
And so I will add the muesli and fruit to the pot.
I shall find a spoon and run it under the hot tap.
Then I shall dip the hot spoon into the cold yogurt
And hold it between my tongue and the roof of my mouth,
Enjoying the way the cold and hot sort themselves out.
I will eat from the pot the fruit, yogurt and muesli
Then drop it so that the waiting dog can deal with it.
There will be no washing-up, for I shall lick the spoon.
(I am happy to acknowledge the influence of Jacques Prévert.)
