Triada Samaras Poem: In the Kitchen

In the Kitchen

No hesitation in the way she did it
Splat!
with the silver spoon
she grabbed to crush his ugly body

Unexpected was the crunch
No seconds left
between her, the bug, the spoon
Splat!
no second chance, no mercy
for the nasty creature

No guilt or thought
no offense taken

He was a goner
shaking while she whacked him
with her metal spoon
Splat! Splat! Splat!
Dead again

No hesitation on his creepy insect shell
Crushed and flattened against the wall
Antennae and all

No smile but such focus
She slayed him with her hocus pocus!

Garbage in, garbage out
That was the way she did it

In the Kitchen

No hesitation
Splat!
Silver spoon
Crush his ugly body

Unexpected crunch
No seconds left
No mercy
Nasty creature

No guilt
No thought
He was a goner
Shaking
Splat! Splat! Splat!

No hesitation
Creepy insect shell
Crushed, flattened
Antennae and all

No smile
Such focus
She slayed him
Hocus pocus!

Garbage in, garbage out

That’s the way she did it
