The rings on my stove have always been there.
They grow with every over-boiled ***
Every spill, every mistake,
More indelible with every morning coffee and fried egg.
Today, I soaked and scraped and scoured until the rings were gone.
Maybe the other black and baked-on parts of my life
Aren't permanent either.
