The cooking class
She tells you
That kitchen is a place
like a writing desk.
The worm foods are poetry that a chef creates.
She tells you to mix
Ingredients in a bowl of
Lovely porcelain
White as the stillness of her pearls.
She shows you how to mix.
You have yawned after the 1st class!
She overlooks prodigal's flickers.
She shows you to warm the pot
To pour a slab of butter
To fry the vegetables
No, no. Just a bit of red
She showed you.
Back at the house
You have tried
And tried
The closest of the imitation
Only to find a placid taste.
She has not told you
The key ingredient:
A bit of whipped love.
