Ninja Foodi XL Pro,
the monster in her kitchen
Came all the way from China,
Jinan, Shandong
to be exact,
then to San Diago, California,
then by FedEx into Canada
Her point being that
somewhere along the way
there is a loss in
translation.
It/he burns everything
She reads the instructions,
written in English
but he/it still burns everything
There are instructions in
five languages
Perhaps one of those is
the right one
If she knew some one who
spoke Spanish or German
maybe they could help
Her friends love their
Ninjas
Their chicken wings are crispy
their roasts just the right
medium well done,
pizzas to die for,,,
Wait a minute!
She stops to ponder
Why IS that?
You don’t
suppose it’s HER mind
lost in translation

Inspiration from
23. The sum of its parts
Consider the objects in your home.
How did they get there? What resources
were required to produce them?
Write a poem about the origin of one or
more of your possessions. /
