Weave

Weave your food into cloth for me.
Spin the lettuce fine.
Stud it with seeds and jalapeños.
Add a spool of spinach.
Cross and hook and loop it together.
Make a shiny, wet bolt.

Knead it into dough for me.
Roll it slowly into a crepe.
Lay it in a glass dish
and bake it.

Remove. Spread it out flat and warm
and get your tools.
Make me pants. And a coat.
Hat and a belt.

Cook me a skin.
Chill it. Brush it with oil.
Squeeze lemon over it.

Then groom me.
Dress me.
Garnish me.
And take me to dinner.
