SILENT TREATMENT by Joseph Hardy

An unease tries to clamber

up stainless-steel sides,

will not drain

with the dishwater.

 

What’s in the kitchen

won’t behave,

won’t lay down

like carrots to be chopped.

 

For all my paring of fingers

the wooden spoon won’t grasp,

the serving dish

breaks in the sink.
