we ditched the old pans
the cutting boards got cut
along with the wooden spoons, and the rolling pin
surely the sifter went
and all of the crumbs in the corners of drawers
along with drawer liners
the toaster was toast
Although, I saved the wooden salad claws,
those I will sand and refinish, for they are lovely,
and from my sister for christmas...
the mixer got the cleaning of its life
and a new friend called "bread machine"
(not that the ingredients to fill it have arrived yet)
I made play doh once, but threw it away
upon realization that the flour was processed near Nuts
(Funny, in my new zeal, to miss an old hat like that)
Gotta make safe rice flour and do it again.
I've thrown away soap, lotion, and creams
Not to mention 90% of what's in the pantry
Gotta call the company that about the tempura paint
Might have to throw it out too.
Wheat and Corn are EVERYWHERE...
Lurking in corners of drawers
in "health food", on our skin, in our hair,
brazenly on the counter and in the cupboard in bags
In the lunchmeat, the dried fruit, probably in the walls
and in our shoes
surely it's been in my dreams.
All the Moms-with-the-kids-with-food-
this is what we do, this is our story
And when the raze is over, we build from the ground up
A new life, a new home, a safe place to eat
Where we still make food mistakes, but hopefully,
Hopefully keep the kids alive and happy
Hopefully soon we proceed to...normalcy.
hehe...more or less. ;)
