I Don’t Blow Them or Anything

“I don’t blow them or anything”                                     I told him
in self-defence                                                                “Don’t get irate,”
                                                   frothing
                                                                  as my fingers gyrate.

“I don’t blow them or anything”                                        emptied,
refreshed                                                     glinting like stars
                            the draining board swarming
as he said, “So it’s you then, who makes all these jars.”
