Porridge

 

In the morning

make sure I calculate

precise,

Flat packet grains compress

into calibrated measure,

To be levelled

then dispensed,

With milk added to twice the degree,

Stirred,

Placed in microwave,

A minute of vibrational rotation.

Stirred,

Returned for half the spell of time.

Withdrawn,

Stirred.

Seed topping on the milky mass,

Insalted,

Honeyed,

Stirred

and left to rest

for oat grains and milk to coalesce.

Then start my day,

in a solid, sweet, salty, grainy, milky whey.
