pensées sur le chou-fleur

cut the cauliflower, as they cut you

wash the cauliflower, when you wash away your sorrow

sprinkle pepper

sprinkle salt 

sprinkle cheese

sprinkle love & home, until it's enough

mix & mingle, as you'll do forever, 

even when you don't feel like mixing and mingling 

pour olive oil, it adds flavor

what's life, if it has no taste? 

let it simmer in the oven, 

taste it — is it enough?

 

//Note: The title came from Google Translate, which says it translates to Cauliflower Thoughts, I felt like food names always look and sound more aesthetically pleasing if it's in French, so correct me if the translation is wrong. Thanks!
