waste


listening to smashing pumpkins thinking
how real hunger
knows food

how crying over onions beats
spilling milk how
a potato's eyes
won't look

the other way how
a canned chicken can't
cluck his tongue
at lack

of salt
how enormously
more forgiving
an egg is

than an almond soufflé
how coffee may
be auto dripped twice
how smashing

a pumpkin
breaks
someone's
daily bread.
