I heard this idea
that what’s in the frig
says a lot about who you are
lots of leftovers say
you hold on to things
cuz you might need them
nearly ripened fruit whisper
you like to wait for the perfect
moment to do or say something
while milk is the moral modifier
coating and mixing with both
sweet and bitter pleasure and pain
which means when the spaghetti
and meatballs turn green
we know you’re a hoarder
or if the peach turns brown
you are a procrastinator
or if the milk sours
you stopped living
took a break for awhile
maybe found some brittle old gum
in a drawer and chewed
on your next move
