Microwave Society

went to nuke a microwave dinner
instructions said to peel back a
corner of the plastic to vent steam

as you peel back the plastic
notice that there’s nothing
really there

a metaphor for our toxic lives
nothing but hot, noxious gasses
demand a venting, an escape

time to face the truth of our
existential despair

–LE – 2/9/25
