I won’t get any writing done tonight
I’m just preparing a meal for the family
I arrived earlier than my wife and stepson
so I started dinner
I sometimes enjoy cooking
grilling
on the other hand
I absolutely love
sitting out back
smoking cigars
drinking
cooking meat
just what I like
mixed with cooking meat
but cooking inside can be pleasurable as well
tonight I made boneless
skinless buffalo-seasoned thighs
with homemade yellow rice
and broccoli with yellow queso cheese
I was sweating my ass off
preparing this meal
my face dripping
wiping with paper towels
the stove giving off
a hellfire of temperature
even though I’ve been
perspiring the entire day at work
it’s just easier to sweat
for the ones I love
for free
