THE SCIENTIST

Something has always 
piqued my interest 

about single-
serve recipes, 
drying racks 

which house 
just one dish, 
and austere 

wooden tables 
with a solitary chair. 

How much less 
can one man stand?—
I shall know 

when I get there.
That endgame, 

perhaps, is a 
mortal stress, so 
it's a good thing 

I was built for this
and am dying to test 

just how 
much violence 
bachelorhood will bear.
