A plate full of despair

Last night I cooked a squash in the oven. This morning, I discovered this lighter than air blob of stuff in a pan on one of the lower racks; a porous charcoal cloud that I bet doesn’t weigh a whole ounce. It looks like what you feel like you shed once your depression has lifted. Or the thing you got rid of when you finally stopped worrying. Or maybe its that thing that dissolved when you woke up from a nightmare. I guess I ought to throw it away. So I took this picture.
