Thank you

I would like to thank Marit for reminding me I can share my poetry. I still write, and I'm actually working on a novel, but I think I've grown afraid to share my writing. Well that's silly. I'll get back to it. It's not like many people read this anyway, I think there are 3 people? So here is a poem I wrote:

This is How You Cook While Troubled

You lean the ugly russet potato
that you hoped you would have the luxury
of throwing away.

The knife is wide and indifferent
slicing vegetable & meat alike
so you are careful with the blade balanced
on the lump on your cutting board.

Salted water boils faster but not
if you stare. At least
it will be hot.
