Plate
On the plate before me
I am the world’s worst daughter
On the plate before me
Familial slaughter
On the plate before me
Lies the meatless mutter
Of dissidents and kings of discernible means
On the plate before me
No chicken just greens
On the plate before me
On the plate before me
On the plate before me
I am a late blooming human
On the plate before me
Quietly stewing
On the plate before me
Remains of another
A mindful blending of the cold hard truth
On the plate before me
The fibrous root
On the plate before me
On the plate before me
On the plate before me
I am as old as the planet
On the plate before me
A life’s been well done
On the plate before me
fragments of the road rage
Left begging until there is full sun
On the plate before me
The map in hand
On the plate before me
On the plate before me
Isn’t life grand
On the plate before me
On the plate before me
