Meatloaf Louise DiLenge
HE always served first. Yellow Pyrex dish adrift, grease-laked. Meatloaf Eye witness stabbing, highchair seated. Meatloaf Heinz catsup slather, mean piece slashed. Meatloaf Carnation Evaporated Milk mashed. Potatoes Jolly Green Giant Morton Salt rained. Corn Left hand knife. Right hand spoon. Two-fisted attack. Counter clock circles. HE stirs mess on plate. Ready. Steady. Aim. Fire! Meatloaf-potato-corn-mush. Bombs Wonder Bread wrap. HE shoves-chews-open-mouthed-angry. Who are these people? Why am I here?
