eggs again

it's embarrassing to watch

the cooking

shows on tv

as you sit and eat scrambled

eggs

for the third night in a row

made exotic by the slapping

of a slice

of american

cheese on top, and adding peppers.

these shows can turn tree bark

and grub worms into

french cuisine.

their pbj is not your pbj.

where did they find bread like

that,

jelly and jam from the swiss

alps,

peanut butter smoother

than silk, made from rare

hardwood trees

in africa. maybe tomorrow

you'll try to make something different.

maybe that leg

of lamb wrapped in garlic

cloves

with mint jelly and baby potatoes

as cute as buttons.
