Comeona’ My Kitchen

By John Sangster

Push back the chrome dinette.
Slow dance on my linoleum
(clock radio knows the hits).
Tonight we cookin’.
Don’t mean no pots and pans.
Burner low, light switch shut,
dance to the blue-flame flicker.
Teflon-tight tonight on my linoleum.

Comeona’ My Kitchen was previously published in 2000 in a now-defunct online magazine called Beachfire Crossing.

John Sangster lives on Lopez Island. Each morning he faces a dilemma: does he pick up the pen or the guitar? His works have appeared in several issues of SHARK REEF. John's chapbook Island Year is forthcoming from Pudding House Publications
