Mashed potato mama
Sits in a vat
Of warm
Mashed Potatoes
The supreme
Comfort food
Forever available
Unregulated
“Butter”
She demands
And butter
Appears
Melting
Sliding
Down the
Potatoes
Potatoes
Squish between
Her fingers
And toes
Potatoes
Become
The new
Hair gel
She raises the
Buttery mash to her mouth
Bliss
In soft warm perfection
Mashed Potato Mama
Will never leave
Her vat
Of fulfilled desire
She knows
What she wants
And she has
An unending supply

There must be gravy
To merge with indulgence,
To open the possibility of holiness
To disguise the carbohydrate
In a cloak.of protein!

Although small amounts of protein, gravy IS a much needed beverage!
