I Would Just Like Everyone to Know

Text

Today for lunch I made

Extra firm tofu, pressed and air-fried

   (Who knows why it must be extra firm)

Crispy kale, massaged with oil and lemon

Chicken orzo, simmering in a pan

An ache of grief subtle yet sharp

And had a glass of ice cold water.


Does this count as adulthood?

   (The kale was done too early and got cold)
