Hugger-muggery
I can tell now, not carved with a pocket knife
haphazardly agog, etched in granite
the only Family I’ve left, moving out of
an umbrella of skin searing heat . . .
No enigma there, however, one exists
Received a box of frozen foods
(I guess their freezer is not empty)
what I don’t understand is why
there’s labels & dates on gravys,
assorted vegetables, bacon
but not on a huge block of meat
Mystery Meat!
Remained my conundrum until I put it in
my crockpot amidst leftover
cauliflower soup
5 hours on high heat later
I ate pieces of tender beef pot roast
I am alive
no food poison pain, thus
must mean I cooked in time
the mystery meat
