Preparing A Three Course Meal For A Buddhist Monk

from Eyelids by Tau Tau

/

lyrics

Ticking tocks on a clock, the one in the kitchen above the baker’s rack, the one Aunt Jane always says looks zen and Uncle Bobby won’t look at. He’s so practical, she’s so untouched, untuned to this frequency. They always argue about which beach to camp at. He wants to be close to bathrooms and potable water.

Aunt Jane finds shells and sea grass. She doesn’t know what potable means, and the sea is so close, and blue and deep and green.

She ignores when Bobby tells her it’s a lake. Mother just rolls her eyes and makes Long Island Iced Teas. I’m surprised that they like the same drink.

But mostly, I wish they wouldn’t talk so loudly at night, competing with the clock. When they visit, my dreams are as zen as the baker’s rack in the kitchen.
