Pancakes Are Better Than You
I sit with a full belly
Perhaps instead of
Pining for you
Like a starving fool
Alone in the woods
Today I'll make pancakes
I know how long to wait for those
To turn into something delicious
I know that satiation will occur
At the end of the arduous process
They offer a level of certainty
I never knew with you
And probably never will
There's love in pancakes
Not just in the food itself
But in the act of making them
To share with those I love
Making good pancakes is an art
Making love with you is a mistake
I can't say I feel
Anything good about
Our processes
You leave a bad taste in my mouth
And I am always hungry for more
As a matter of fact
You could never compare
To pancakes

Bruce Lee and The God of War: Kuan Ti
It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

This is a wonderful! Fun and biting! “I know….delicious” were my favorites
I love the way you spun pancakes into a metaphor for love and certainty. I also feel like pancakes now!
Food is the best. Food will never leave us. Food will never cause us heartbreak. Loved your poem!
