The Back of the Shelf Gang

Pots and pans...

Shadow dwelling
in the corners of irrelevance...

For they have fallen
out of rotation
cause the recipes
that once defined them
and gave them purpose
have lost their appeal
to the current 
plastic generation
who are clueless
about all the great
ancient taste sensations
they are missing out on
with their microwave sensibilities..

These pots and pans
now all too well understand
what it is to be lonely
and unappreciated...

Victims of ignorance
and forced uselessness...

They will endure long lives
with only memory sustenance
to sustain them
in the soul sapping bitterness
of unjust functional obsolescence
