Makes me whole?
Hey bay do you want some Gumbo?
Hmmm….
I can hear the ingredients simmer in the pot
The overwhelming taste absorbs my mouth
The combinations swarm my tummy
Makes me whole
Hey Kates red or white beans tonight?
Hmmm…
I can hear my brother yell out “RED!”
The amount of beans in the pot is overwhelming
Take a bite…dryness. No flavor
Makes me whole
Hey Katie Bug do you want spaghetti tonight?
Hmmm…
The noodles are overflowing from the pot
Moisture radiates off each surface making my tongue overjoyed with happiness
Red Sauce on my clean, white polo- nothing new
Makes me whole
Yo! Want something to eat?
Hmmm…
The bubbling and the searing of the tomato on top of the bread
Crunch, Crunch, broken down one by one each entering equally
Small but filling, keep them coming… who wants the last one?
Makes me whole
Um do you want me to actually cook?
Hmmm…
The macaroni and cheese is baking in the oven
Fear runs through the veins- decisions
Yum? Luckily, Overpowered with coke
Makes me whole
Sincerely,
Katie, age 16
