What is it about 

A bowl of mush that makes me

Feel just so swaddled?

Cereal must sit

in its milk for five minutes 

before I will eat.

to keep teeth sprightly,
use sparingly; make many
batches of pudding. 

you're just jealous of
how well prepared i'll be when
i'm seventy-five.

I used to work at Food52. I'm probably the person who picked all of the cookie dough out of the cookie dough ice cream.

Contentment on plates,
cornmeal mush, slathered cold butter
fills my hungry belly.

What, grits?
go ahead, smush it all over my face.
but wait- let me get my back flat with the table.
