Soup

by Mai Nguyen

The Easiest Soup Ever, Tasty and Great for a Cold Day, No Need to Cook Anything Else (from mom with margins by me)

One, heat the soup to tip boiling point, two, hear the froth

(on "tsee" and "tsaa") drown the stove 'till it's off, then three, eat

now you

fling "tsee"s and "tsaa"s 

and "khuu"s, "sưư"s, "ha", "hot", get it, got it, good.

burned

shit, soothe

made of, pop-up, cool — 

sing — "hu" — 

"Ready?" "Soon! — "

hand-off, spoon — 

for, who

love, you.
