in the back
of my refrigerator, next
to a stick of unsalted butter.
what the hell is this,
i say to myself.
i pull it out and open it up.
it's a brown paste, with
little specks of pimento
in it. the label
says chick peas, soy
and shredded kale,
but there's no expiration date.
in fact it says,
this will never go bad.
forever, the tag says
in bright yellow.
i give it a quick smell test,
it smells like
fishy spackle.
who put this here, i wonder.
what person left behind
her chick pea paste?
