BACON

I made the bacon the other day.

It wasn't as good as yours.

not as crisp

not as tasty

not as sharp.

You'd say, you have to fry it under a simmering flame

and I'd say fry?

I barely understand the terms

the mechanisms

the experience you have in these matters.

Not that it matters, anyway.

I couldn't use medium heat

I don't know how.

All I can do is turn the intensity up to twelve

and hope for the best

all I can do is burn it up

burn it out

leave myself soggy charred remains

of that which was once so delicious.

I made bacon the other day.

It wasn't as good as yours.
