Some nights I sup on rolled oats soaked
the afternoon in milk and yogurt,
sweetened with fruit and made to sate
through a couple of blobs of crunchy nut butter,
and some nights I just have cereal.
Some mornings I let two pots of water
reach a rolling boil, the one to receive
a dose of spaghetti, the other to leave
cooling for a minute so as not to scald
the heaping spoonful of leaves in my cup,
then ten minutes later toss the twine in some pesto
I'd ground up in marble not two days before,
and sometimes I just gnaw at the bones
of a carcass I couldn't be bothered to reheat.
