The reading starts high and becomes less useful near the mustard. Every route away from the plate ends in another warm paw print.

Dinner Service
Hot Dog was served once and has refused to cool since. The bun remains remarkably calm. The mustard keeps its form through pure concentration. Wherever he settles, the plate warms, the table sighs, and four small toasted footprints remain. He is not angry. He is simply dinner at an unsafe emotional temperature. Water only makes him steam politely.

Let dinner cool itself.
