The radiating red–orange
[ Photons of thermal vibration ]
Conduction and convection
Within the conventional oven
The baking element still functions,
The broiler element broken
Two years gone,
So with my 25% discount from
Walmart  —no squiggly—
The toaster oven is purchased :

,   and & deleted :

Because the drill from the
Corporation still drills
30 years hence, maybe more .
Cheese_Toast !,
Glorious, gooey, broiled–
On–one–side–only–to–a–
Satisfying–crunchy–edge
Toast :   panis tosti—
The Welsh rarebit delicacy :

Bread near the Paleolithic fire :
A historical hot–button issue
For various cultures :
Arse–kneading dough as a love potion,

Advertising by the womb of the nation
Passion in the wheat–fields ;
Heads rolled to get sticks out of bread
—Ductile domesticity.

Element topology morphs toasting
Stones, into forks, into cages, into
My toaster oven .
The life hack of turning
The regular toaster sideways
Results in unacceptable
Carcinogenic blackened bottoms
And barely–melted cheese crowns .

Sting asserts in An Englishman
In New York, “ I like my toast done
On one side . ”
I have been eating British
Toast since childhood
—Small world,
Lands butter down 62% of the time .

The Maillard reaction,
The non–rational joy of fire
Near the staff of life—more popular
Than sex during matins—
Is nearly endless, exempli gratia :

You already know my favorite .
