Pressure Cooker

I see the angry steam

Rushing upward from your ladened lid,

Locked and latched to

Seal the savor

Of the flavor deep inside.

You can’t hide the wild

Intense desire to escape the fire

Burning hot below your feet,

A vile and Hellish brimstone street.

Pain must be your Musketeer

By your side to face the fearsome

Foe you seek to vanquish with the

Mighty slash of polished steel.

But your feet are melded to

A single surface as if magnets

Held you fast as others passed,

Demolishing your zest and zeal.

You can shed the pressure cooker,

Climb the ladder of desire.

Set your feet on kinder ground.

Set your sights forever higher.
