                     Mushrooms

    Mushrooms are seekers.  They sweat
    in a pan of garlic and butter, fuss
    bicker and toss--
    They tough it out like the rest of us.
    They furl, tucking into themselves like ears
    along an arm of steam.
    They eye a slant of vinegar, the crush
    of lemon rising like a half sun
    along horizon of skillet.
    And all because they want what we want;
    the dose of salt, the kiss, to be poured
    out onto a plate.  They want praise,
    perhaps even dare ask for love.
