Pork Ramen

We are a collection

Of the parts of the people

Who have fed us and loved us before.

I eat pork ramen, and not chicken

Because my old roommate

Always made it for me

When I boil my mashed potatoes,

I always throw a garlic clove in it

Because that's how my

Father taught me to cook.

My cookbook and my mind

Are simply pieces of the people

Who have loved me

Through the years
