Preparing a Holiday Meal
I'd had half a bottle of Shiraz
before anyone arrived.
Now I'm tearing up
chopping the fucking onions
and remembering aunt June
once telling me
that a dull knife
is much more dangerous
than a sharp one.
Not if you're being chased
by an 80's horror flick psycho,
I used to think.
I won't go into detail
about my gored thumb,
or auntie June's strange gloating,
but everyone raved about dinner
and when Jaded June let a fart slip at the table,
all the masks came off.
