Problem Cooker

Problem Cooker 

It is cauterization day at the clinic.

The thing on my ear looks like a brown mole.

It is cancer.

I’m told it won’t kill me but if we don’t deal with it now 

they will have to cut off a chunk of my ear later.

She jabs me in the ear with an instrument I have barely looked at.

It hurts and there is a crackling sound like sparks flashing and then I can smell the sickly sweet smell of my burnt flesh.

We are done.

I am grateful.

If only I could cook all my problems.
