In The Kitchen

 

A living micro chasm separate from the world

Within walls the heat is trapped

Long days; longer the easier mundane work

Knowing by the rhythm of humanity,

The seasons of Earth’s diverse family

An evolving palate, a demand

An honest business, cash in hand

Otherwise a paint stroke of diversity,

Fat of the land, harvested and shipped in,

Is prepared culinarily

Dish, plate, run, clear, clean.

Travel the world and taste the cuisine

Prepare your own versions of what you have seen

Spoil your partner and children

In the kitchen of your dream
