Salt To Taste

I took the meat out the freezer

I let the meat thaw overnight

I turned off the alarm

I admired the sunrise

I got out of bed

I cleaned my body and cleaned the house

I took out the trash

I washed my hands

I put on my apron

I placed the meat on the cutting board

I carved the meat in preparation for cooking

I placed the meat chunks on skewers

I grilled the meat over the open flame

I opened the door for my dozen dinner guests

I sat them down one by one

I finished preparing the meal

I placed some cooked meat on every guest’s plate

I told each guest to salt the flesh to taste

I listened to my dinner guests admire my cooking

I told them what kind of meat it was after they inquired

I told them my wife died just last week
