I was talking to my food
but it was the kind of father-son talk,
of being disappointed for a bad grade or something.
in a calm but firm voice saying things like “I am very disappointed than you”
stressing the word disappointed so the child would understand what it is your are trying to pass.

In fact, it was grounded properly,
much like the way a child might not “fit in”
with the school system and thus get bad grades,
the texture of a certain part of my food wasn’t fitting in with the big casserole.
But who am I to tell him he should fit in?

perhaps he’s right, perhaps they are wrong.
