2021/4/23 #poetry Mixing mixing round and round I spin the spoon in the pot but when it is done I can't eat yet the food is still way too hot
It bubbles and pops for a minute more I wish it would cool down I have not eaten in hours My stomach makes gurgling sounds
It will be good, I know, I know A treat worth waiting for but it's hard to wait when you're hungry the sensation is no cinch to ignore
The key to success is distraction I must avoid burning my tongue I remind myself that it has happened When I've done it before it has stung
I move on to other ideas about things I'll do later today and then almost before I know it the food is now cooled, hooray!
This pattern I know will repeat again It's not something I can avoid but as long as I follow this outline at least I can be less annoyed
