I kept asking myself:
should I really do this?
Stir-fry breadcrumbs
in a skillet for 12 minutes?
After all,
I’m warm, caring
and sensitive
and besides
without your minced meat --
well I need someone to raise the heat
someone random and spontaneous
and easy to get along with.
So on Saturday morning
after waking up alone
I went to the store.
As you know
life is short
so I purchased
8 lbs. of ground beef
8 lbs of lamb cubes
18 lbs of whole turkey.
When I returned home.
it was ten o’clock.
I could tell
because
I’m a good listener
and besides
there’s no need
to dwell on the past.
Well
after marinating all day
I figured
why not give this a try?
So at exactly 5 PM
on January 29th
I immediately set the meat aside
and began adding oil to the wok.
Then I stir- fried a gaggle of garlic cloves very quickly.
Every now and then
I would add onions and rosemary
shallots and thyme
anything I could find
just to show I can be a good friend.
Then I remembered
your reserved brown eyes
your easy frame
and your fifty pairs of sexy shoes
and I knew it was time to add the breadcrumbs.
Well, you know
I struggle with this town
and women are a different breed of person.
My job keeps me busy
and I’m always sitting in traffic.
Still, I like to be with someone
who is non-judgmental
translucent.
Someone I can love and figure out
not just strain off
and put aside as optional.
So there you have it.:
the encapsulation of my existence--
1 leftover tablespoon of tomato paste
a panful of burnt breadcrumbs
and a missing sprig of coriander leaves.
Now what do you say --
let’s lower the heat
and simmer for a while.
And if you still like to laugh and eat
and find my ingredients suitable to your taste
come on back
and let’s see what happens.
