The Spoon
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?
