lyrics

Cardboard by the door

Two spoons in a jar

Rice on the white stove

I learned your new sound from the fan above, hard

I sliced one tomato slow

Under the noon light

The pan made a small hiss

When the oil caught right

First pot, first home

First pot, first home

First pot, first home

First pot, first home

Salt on my wrist

Steam on my face

I ate with the box

Still half in place

Bare bulb over the sink

Keys on a blue plate

My mother’s old apron

Hanging by one hook, straight

I rinsed the lentils clean

In a steel bowl

The clock in the hall

Ticked like a slow soul

First pot, first home

First pot, first home

First pot, first home

First pot, first home

Salt on my wrist

Steam on my face

I ate with the box

Still half in place

Fifth floor, open window

Taxi hum below

I dropped the last onion

And let my shoulders go

First pot, first home

First pot, first home

First pot, first home

First pot, first home

Salt on my wrist

Steam on my face

I ate with the box

Still half in place
