Pass the Bread

Series: Climate

Pass the bread, please.

…You can’t pass the bread? Why not?

Oh.

It’s yours.

… But didn’t you bake it to share with us?

No?

Oh, you made it. I see.

…But you have so much leftover…

…I didn’t make it. I see.

Your hands did the kneading and the pulling.

Your hands did the mixing

yours the pouring

yours stirring

slicing.

…But didn’t the yeast do the rising?

And the wheat the growing?

This is not your bread.

This is our bread.
