Grains of Truth.

[Delta40]

Come on rice
with all your glug
and sticky stuff
that will never,
ever
rinse totally free.
Steam all you like.
Boil till the light
goes out.
I'll be right here.
Watching,
waiting
for that sweet moment.

Haha...very fun little piece and very clever title
'Grains of Truth'
I love rice too..I reckon steamed is better for you!

Sticky rice! :)

I rinse first and then let it drain, later stirring in a pinch of salt to replace what's gone. If I'm in a hurry I just use a rice spoon though (the usual case and method)

lol. Thanks MM & Cacian. Is there more than just rice to be read in this poem?

[firefangled]

hmmmm...

r + c = (sticky stuff) x l + f
.............(light goes out)


I like the metaphor if I have it right

[MystyrMystyry]

^Ah hah! Possibly


Rice is excellent when you're so hungry you could eat thousands of something :)

Nice equation FF. You might be onto something there...
