in the house of greed
i put "homestyle beef skillet" on
the highest shelf
night after night, tearing into that bag,
gutting the plastic for all its worth:
carrots in thin shavings
small cylinders called green beans
fat squares of icy meat
brown pucks of frozen flavor--
in seven or so minutes
we can both stuff our mouths
with cheap forkfuls of easy comfort;
contentment, ready-made.
