the ten inch ceramic frying pan

i stare

out the window waiting

for the Amazon

truck to arrive.

it's been over 24 hours since

i ordered my

ten-inch ceramic

Calphalon

frying pan,

that is dishwasher safe

and can be used

in the oven,

if for some strange

reason

you need to use it like that.

i pace the room as my

three eggs

wobble on the counter,

my four

strips of bacon

limp in a plate.

i've sliced and diced

the onions

and peppers, shredded

the cheese.

the toast is waiting too

in the toaster,

ready

for the word go.

what has the world come to?

we have to wait

for everything

these days.
