Microwave Perfection

Nachos with no lights on.

One plate for me, one for you.

I needed two hands to hold that little plate.

A dinning chair to reach my supplies.

Tostitos Original. Pace Medium.

Kraft's Shredded Tex Mex.

Pour the chips out, space them right.

Right means perfectly; edge to edge.

For all to be seen and dressed identically.

Watching X-Files: The Flashlight Show

47 secs in the microwave

43 done, the door is open,

we're at the couch, nacho hecho.

4 seconds left glowing for the show.

This was our show, our snack, the whole family watched.

The celestial event watching catalyst.

About the Creator

Henri Korolis

I have not lived long, yet I choose paths that age and dishearten me. I will remain optimistic and refuse to not have expectations of the world to be a beautiful place. It is our place as cognitive animals to find that beauty and share it.
