Life is
a recipe.
With mixes,
and blends,
and possible combinations
of infinite ingredients you
sometimes choose
and sometimes find
tossed in your cart–
by a mystery shopper
–when you’re not paying attention.
amateur chef show
you have a second to decide
–and a lifetime
how you tie the tid-bits together.
If it’s already processed,
it still can be changed–
Pan in hand and
menu plan on plate
–will you deep fry that Twinkie?
Toss it out, and eat the arguably more healthy cellophane?
and if it’s fresh
–but bland–
will you douse it with sauce
>sweet or savory<
char it on coals
/cut on the bias/
and garnish with herbs?
if it’s bitter
–will you sweeten?
it it’s sour
–are you cool?
if it’s a Costco pallet
of unplanned
>purchased without specs<
will you skip it altogether?
Or make a trifle all your own?
Will you say you’re
all thumbs
in the kitchen
–which we all can appreciate
or will you suffer a few burns
. . .
(roll up sleeves)
–and learn.
