Roasting Metaphor

That may be the recipe

Yes that may be the ticket

But wait too long for it to cook

You sure as hell will miss it


I’ve been slaving over

This hot stove

For days and weeks and months

Hoping to find some meaning in the work

Or fulfilment I can stuff


But all I do is stir

Blow and bin

Anything that comes up a boil


There’s only so long you can

Work that flame

Until the goods start to spoil.
