is coming to dinner
“and is being recognized more and more.”
cut the carrots and the verbs
slice the radishes and the adjectives
shred the romaine lettuce and the nouns
slice the onions and the conjunctions
slice the cucumbers and the present tense
mix the dressing and the false narrative
toss with confusion
serve-up on the right
follow with
“the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you’ve ever seen”
