Cooking with the Universe

Here, boy, flip that pan over.
Ok good.
You thought you had the right side?
You been cookin’ all wrong, boy.
You been forgettin’
that Life’s best seasoning
is on the underside.
It’s where you don’t always look,
where you’re afraid
to scrub and see
what’s beneath.

Bet you didn’t expect
that tasty seasoning
you been seekin’
has been here all along.
