’Tis the season when people get personally offended that I don’t cook—as if my lack of culinary devotion is a moral failure or a betrayal of womanhood.

Wrote a found poem just now in my journal, using this morning's digital NYT. Here's what emerged:
Tried peace.
Appointed fight.
Close love (with an "s" sound).
Close love (with a "z" sound).
Who needs another hiccup?
The key?
Butter.
