The kitchen clock hit midnight. <br />The union filled the room. <br />Paprika sold another lie: <br />"I'm smoky. Buy me soon." <br />Black Pepper laughed, <br />"You're full of smoke." <br />Paprika tipped her hat. <br />"Maybe so... <br />But I'm not that." <br /><br />The door swung wide. <br />Cilantro smiled. <br />Nobody smiled back. <br /><br />Parsley called the roll. <br />Rosemary stayed dry. <br />Thyme ignored the drama. <br />Cumin asked them why. <br />Basil watched in silence. <br />Nutmeg crossed the floor. <br />Every eye agreed... <br />"We've seen this act before." <br /><br />OUT! <br />Out of every pan! <br />Every meal you touch <br />Turns into cilantro again! <br />OUT! <br />We've had enough! <br />The whole damn kitchen <br />Calls your bluff! <br /><br />Garlic banged the table. <br />Onion seconded the vote. <br />Bay Leaf never spoke... <br />Still earned another note. <br />Ginger cut the tension. <br />Turmeric stained the page. <br />Cinnamon stayed calm. <br />Cloves uncaged their rage. <br /><br />Paprika cleared her throat. <br />"I've fooled plenty of cooks." <br />Black Pepper shrugged. <br /><br />"We know." <br />"But even I <br />would never <br />destroy a dinner." <br />Silence. <br />Then applause. <br /><br />OUT! <br />No appeal tonight! <br />Frauds may fool a customer... <br />You erase every bite! <br />OUT! <br />That's the final call! <br />Every spice has flaws... <br /><br />Yours swallows them all. <br /><br />_________________________________ <br /><br />Astrikos Katoikos <br />Copyright ©️ 2018 <br />Todos os Direitos Reservados ® <br /><br />#astrikoskatoikos #punkrock #coentro #paprica #tempero #pimentas #mostarda #cebola #cebolinha
