There used to be a difference
Between a teapot and a kettle.
The Kettle a fiery stuntman—
As time went on, you claimed
This distinction was irrelevant.
You now speak as if they
Are the same, think pots and
Kettles can both withstand the fire,
Can both be polite t company.
You tell me to put the teapot on,
And I don’t know what that means.
The problem is not that this distinction
Isn’t useful anymore, the problem is
Your inability to tell me the truth
About the objects that keep us together.
