Incompatibility Without the Flowers

The first year she was gone I bought                  a skillet lined with teflon. She would bang on them with                  heavy metal spoons. This one is still like new...                 after 12 years.

Additional Notes:
Many might argue well this rustic piece is not poetry. But to those it touches (and I suspect that may even be of higher number) I insist it is.

James, I have to tell you, I really like this and yes it is poetry...How true a statement I've never heard..precise without mincing words. The end is clever and indeed once burden is removed things don't seem to get so mucked up...You've definitely put a smile on my face, good wit. Best always, Lora
