BUT
eating a plate of rice
with
CHOPSTICKS
makes me feel competent
in a way nothing else does
you do something for fifty years
I guess you get good at it
I mean
it's not a skill anybody really cares about
except me
I remember
how HARD it was to master it
RICE
is easy, relatively speaking
if it's
STICKY
& in a little bowl
where you are just KINDA shoveling it in
BUT
it requires balance
when the grains want to separate & fall
two half grains on the table
NOTHING
on my dress front
I can't f*CKing do THAT
with a FORK
YAY ME
silent victories
