you lay me out
in your steam room kitchen
lacking heart despite the home
on a second rate cutting board
my legs your celery stalks
how glad i am
you’re so meticulous
about sharpening knives
pot boiling with toil and trouble
back handed tenderizing
adding nuts to every dish
ill not apologize
for finding your grapes of wrath
unpalatable
passive aggressive
chicken goop for the bowl
slice
chink
slice
chink
slice
chink
chopchopchopchop
chopchopchopchop
the buffet drawers locked
i don’t trust you near the good silverware
