Trust me, a bit of TWINE is all this needs. I BOAST not, really: I can fix anything. Hand me that busted drawer, the chair with a broken back. Why, with a little ingenuity and patience, I can fix the drawer or set any chair SPLAT right.

The catering kitchen energy is MANIC.
Everyone moving in a fantastic choreography.
My solo is to PLATE grand mariner cheesecake.
Every slice requires a clean knife blade,
continuous cut, wipe, cut, wipe, cut, wipe
APTLY spreading sweet rich goo on everything-
dish towels, napkins, apron, sleeves, pant legs.
Globs fall, hitting the floor with a SPLAT.
By the end of the frenzy, I am covered.
As is the entire area around me, dangerously so.
What started divinely delicious became a source
of disgust, a dessert that still causes me to recoil.
