In lockdown we’ve become consumed with food

in the hope of deflection from our mood.

What to undertake with your hoarded glut,

without increasing your widening gut.

Groceries sanitised with obsession,

your OCD life-saving regression.

TV hosts corpse decorating doughnuts,

endless How to do your own haircuts.

To sweeten the thoughts of how many dead,

pursuit of the perfect banana bread.

While your absent family cease to thrive,

is your sour dough starter still alive?

Boasting ingredients for a recipe

provides some temporary therapy.
