Tasteless

Reading haikus is
like eating chestnuts. You stop
after a bad one.

Moral chicken

They saw a film on
how poultry is killed. They cluck
as I eat hot wings.

Domestic landscapes

Dishwasher rumbles
like a distant storm. Water
churns, carries debris.

Unnecessary

The espresso cups,
sleekly designed, just one more
thing to put away.

Never enough time

I cook mornings so
I can eat evenings. I call
it planning ahead.

Cup of gluttony

When you take skim milk
in your coffee, heavy cream
is an indulgence.
