i disobey
the
laws
of the recipe.
the printed page
in the old
book
my mother saved.
what is a tablespoon
after all,
a teaspoon?
i deal
in smidgens and spills,
a little extra
or a little less
in the measuring cup.
a sprinkle here,
a dollop
there.
the oven set at
a temperature
i want it to.
don't tell me
what to do
Betty Crocker.
i'm done with you.
