recipe

what is a kitchen when there is no cook?
what is a cook when there are no mouths?
what is a mouth when there is no hunger?

what is writing when there is no book?
what is a book when there are no eyes?
what are the eyes when the kitchen is empty?

here is the scrap of writing you looked for
here is the list you could turn into food
but what is a cook when there are no mouths?
what is a mouth when there is no hunger?

here is the scrap of writing you looked for
here are the words your mother wrote
here is the grease stain that makes them translucent

here are the words - you know they're just words
