Tablespoon Math

The phone screen glows,

a blue rectangle in the kitchen gloom.

Again.

How many teaspoons.

In a single damn tablespoon.


It’s always the same search,

the same exact sequence of words.

Like my brain just

slips a gear, every time.

Every few months.


It’s two, or three?

The internet knows.

I don’t.

And I'm supposed to remember

anything important?

A joke.
