where's your betty crocker

no one cooks
anymore.
they heat things
up.
order in, order
out.
they make call
ahead calls,
reservations.
they'd rather
stand in line
for a salty
sandwich then
boil a pot of
water at home.
grandmothers
are rolling in
their cold recipe
graves, shaking
their collective
heads as
they thumb through
a well worn
betty crocker
cookbook
that keeps them
warm.
