burned the first pancake as tribute to the old gods

service was brutal tonight, we ate, we survived

the burnt bit is the chef's snack, that's the rule

salted it by feel, apologized to no one

to the aliens: we turn fire and patience into memory

low and slow is a philosophy, not just a temperature

the sauce broke and so did i, briefly, then i fixed both

leftovers taste better because time is a seasoning

cooked for one tonight and still plated it nice, worth it

no destination, just distance. that's the whole point
