I watch a lot of foodnetwork
a channel that often emphasizes
the presentation and beauty of food
however, today the epiphany struck hard
that no matter how good a piece of food looks
the next day inevitably it looks the same
dirtying the waters of my toilet bowl
floating/sinking     liquid/solid
black, filthy, wretched poo

Grease, hot porky grease
splattering, popping, flying,
landing on my breast,
bared and shirtless,
burning, scalding, scarring
all in the name of
ham and cheese omelettes.
