let's eat lasagna instead

let's eat lasagna instead
of walking downtown, heads down,
the bitter wind cutting through our jackets,
risking our lives at each street crossing.
let's eat warm lasagna and drink lots of red wine
while watching The Crown, immersing ourselves
in the drama of Queen Elizabeth II,
let's finish with tiramisu
and leave the dishes for tomorrow.
yes, let's do that,
let's eat lasagna instead.
