MEAL PLANNING NEGOTIATIONS
WHEREAS the fridge stands as sovereign territory
and WHEREAS the measuring tape cannot account
for the distance between what we said we'd eat
and what we actually wanted β
BE IT RESOLVED that Sunday afternoon
shall remain ungoverned,
the fourth tape outline labelled only
with its own uncertainty,
and that the red arc arriving overhead
counts as weather, and therefore
as an act of god,
and therefore as an excuse.
