discount meat day
no one buys bologna
but the bacon goes
fast even though it's
a bit green on the edge
but you can cut that off
& it'll fry up fine unlike
the flank steak doused
in scallions & cilantro
& picante flavorings to
hide the brown streaks
rippling through top to
center but I'd cook that
shit up anyway if I lived
alone because nothing
says sad divorced dad
than seventy percent off
meat for Thursday dinner
& even though an Instant Pot
can make short work of
anything sometimes it's
best to let the discount
go unclaimed like those
boneless chicken thighs
last week which you don't
want to know about &
there's so much that's
better left unsaid so
just know things could
have been worse in here
if we weren't married
