The Cookbook Is Indignant
The recipe says
Mind you, it is difficult to be patient
The recipe says
You must leave the crust alone with its thoughts
The recipe says
All pasta not from Italy is a floppy towel
and should be flung aside
You call that disgust
The recipe comes from the future
from the best selves of a history-bound people
Before the recipe you are lowly
And in your bowl there is place
and love and the sun
and tyranny and bones
and the quiet, definitive power of a blade
We have a series going on TweetSpeak about food and poetry. This is a nice addition to the resources.
