my food is too hot
steam is a scam
i envy its swirls and its dance
and how it takes the shape of others
how when it seeps into a
room
into a skin
everyone sees its hot
facade likes beauty
the ones movies whisper
and the youth of people inspire
invisibility and its ability
to shed

I don’t know that I’ve ever looked at steam this way, but from now on I will

Love how you used steam as a metaphor!
