“You have to sit down and get into the time it takes,
like this peeling of the shallots”
she says
trying to teach me cooking,
but my brain hears Camelot,
knights, amor,
the revelry before the Sacred Peeling of the Shallots
as I pull her shallots down
around this clone of clown bent sideways
and head for higher ground.
