Kitchen Magazines
I grew up on a diet of fairytales
Devouring every bit of magic I could get my hands on
When Cinderella, Aladdin and Snow White
ran out of steam, all that was left
Were kitchen magazines
They were sitting in a stack, waiting for the next visitor to crack them open...
So I traded enchanted forests for
Granite countertops and stainless steel sinks
Whirlwind romances for state-of-the-art appliances
Lightwash cabinets and hardwood floors
Became a new fantasy world to explore
You cannot become what you cannot see...
My dream kitchen... windowed, green,
was a picture
Of who I could be, the kind of life I would lead
Would I be the mother who baked treats
every afternoon?
A clean freak?
Or would we sit on the counters sipping
Coffee in our morning shoes?
I never stopped believing in fairytales
I just started writing them myself...
