i'm a good cook,
but i can handle
the basics
with a frying pan
and a stick
of butter.
a shaker of salt.
i might do well
at Denny's,
or I hop,
or in the chow line
on the front lines
for the army.
soldiers will eat
anything.
but i have to tell you
she
was the worst
cook ever.
i chipped my tooth
on her scrambled eggs,
cut my
tongue on a hard
shell. her specialty
was creamed.
beef on toast.
i was afraid to ask.
the only thing she was
really good at,
was cutting open
an avocado,
but leaving me to get
the seed out.
