Frilly apron, pastel oven mitts
life a stinking pile of onions
set on the counter to rot—
Such is my incentive to cook:
boil a bag of noodles
sprinkle on the grated cheese.
Voila.
If the plates are pretty in design
will you notice I’ve scaled back?
Kitchen windows north facing
have frost-bite—
Using my fingernail
I scrape a heart anyway.
