He Just Don't

understand
when I run to the kitchen
throw things
smash chairs
dishes
the wooden rungs crack
I splatter hot sauce
on the cabinets
long to throw it
in his face
and I chant
you have no idea
you have no idea
no idea
how crazy I am
while I break up
my own shit.

Satisfaction

Walking into the garden
My taste buds salivate
With the thought
Of fried fritters
As golden bottlenecks
Hide underneath
Box fan leaves
Playing peek-a-boo
With the Sun
