Have you ever

looked at the concave side

of a spoon?

They're upside down

doing the opposite 

of what you do.

They're hanging from the ceiling 

going left

while you go right

going up

while you go down

 

Maybe

This person is from another world.

Maybe

they're trapped inside the spoon

Maybe 

they could explain how they got in there

but they don't talk until you do

 

You go to eat your food

you look in the spoon

food smears over their face

Why are they still there? 

Do they enjoy

being smeared with food?

After you're done eating

you go to wash them

they're dirty from the food

but you're scared 

they might drown

so you try to be careful.

You look in the spoon,

They're wet

But they're ok

 

You put the spoon in the drawer

you wonder

if they're lonely

scared in the drawer

with the forks

with the knives

when will they be able

 to go home 

or will they be stuck in spoon

forever?
