032110h Do It Yourself



biscuits, cornbread, pinto beans
fried country steak, apple pie
mash potato with brown gravy
glass of cold water, that's for me
it takes longer that most dish
i play stick game, my mind tease

up on wall a singer sewing machine
hand crank i wonder what they do then
technology evolves from farmhouse
finding better way to catch a mouse
tools to cut trees, tools to build shelter
on the ceiling, they are hanging all over

waitress is so nice she's from russia
student who came to study america
i must have been full waiting, drinking
i only eat half of the portion, i'm boxing
i ask for my check, she points register
now i know, their charge is cheaper

***
boxing- take home food
