writer, once scientist,
crack eggs using only your wrists.
lead and assist in our cooking class.
look to bottoms of bowls for intelligence.
confuse flour for sugar. sift shells of others.
together, become your own disaster.
scientist, cook up consciousness. writer,
hyperbole and metaphor are folded, never mixed.
mix a little. into the yellow. no yellow into white.
the tangential is never mixed with the outright.
writer, whip cream into butter. too much power.
you’ve turned drinkable to spreadable.
glance down at your disaster.
