How To: make beans

Neural distillate, Bush’s Baked Beans,

Severe-unpleasant-abrupt-withdrawal-penalties–

Quarantine. Ohioan good folk. Stand at the stove.

Blue-gloved-hand raised. To ask The question. Alone.

Like your father. And, even now as you desire me,

your mother continues to stir the question slowly.

Who wanders room to room? Almost satisfied. For something,

one more thing. I couldn’t remember.
