we used to say
all of it
every word - i threw
sounds in the general direction of
you
and you opened your mouth
to receive them,
our word omelets, without
peptic cheese.
you were famished;
you hadn't noticed
the limits of my
kindergarten cooking
or maybe they were just
still cute

too many eggs
later, and over-full,
you asked for thyme
and a hint of pepper
you learned new digestion
while i went to chef school

now i can make pesto, too!
but you can't eat pasta
for breakfast
and i've got class after six
so to be fair
i will have to learn to share
infinite slivers
of you
