Sausage in the Oven
like heaven, is another form of
self-preservation, unlike a bun
in one, in many ways, although
that, too, is a way to preserve
oneself. but that’s not what i
mean to talk about here. for
i’m talking sausages. and i don’t
even have an oven. at least not
one that isn’t a microwave, that is,
so i just lied, i suppose, but who
puts a sausage in a microwave?
unless it’s all tightly wrapped with
additional goodies inside of a
burrito. or something like that,
picked up from the corner store’s
tiny freezer section. what goodies
are held frozen in that midst? a
fine example of an oven’s oppo
site is a freezer, wouldn’t you
say (as i just did)? how about
aloud (it’s allowed). all togeth
er now, everyone! everyone?
“a fine example of an oven’s
opposite is a freezer.” a much
better way to quench one’s
thirst, however, is by way
of a refrigerator. other
wise called a fridge or an
ice box. okay, addendum:
so far, we’ve discussed
microwave and convection
ovens, refrigerators and
freezers. next time, let’s
say, we work ourselves
up to the stove. but be
careful with things that
can either burn you
or freeze you. or
suffocate you
plumb to death.
