Corrosive Kitchen
The Unpredictable
Rattle of pots and pans Chaos controlled by our calloused hands The heat Burns to break you No time to think No time for mistakes Countless tasks to complete simultaneously While juggling chainsaws Its even hotter in the summer Rising steam Hissing, boiling sauce pots Raging oil, crisping the animal flesh The sent of fresh herbs Scourging in a forgotten pan Our sleeping energy Will awaken again with the next order Flooding gas into an exhausted engine
Sharp Knives
Sharp knives hurt less when they cut you Panic will only corrupt you Mistakes Won't offset you No time to apologize Quickly reconnect Adapt and correct Blisters are a sign of accomplishment Humble above Humble below I am a line cook An unseen servant The Ghost Who Feeds You
