the recipe

Wash your hands.

Pick a couple of situations.

Peel away old memories.

Cut in half; what, no seeds?

Then cut first this way

And then that.

Don’t cry, my love, its just

Some bad chemistry!

Take some hot, acrid thoughts.

Core them; throw the seeds away.

Chop chop and chop.

Take a few sprigs of happiness

Finely slice them, diagonally.

In the hot wok of life,

Toss in a smile, couple of fights,

Some heartburn, some sweat,

Stir fry.

Come, my love, let’s eat!
