My heaviest thoughts dangle on the tip of my tongue.
They cling to the taste or the rudiments their of
Crumbs crumble.
Does this give me weight or just weigh me down?
If a monkey grew up in a desert would he prefer cactus to bananas?
Or am I eating crackers trying to blow up an idea?
Would the condemned holy man ask to fast or ask for it fast?
Sugar plums have never danced in my head.
Can the palate savor after digestion?
Has my apple cider truly gone bad and I am just whizzing vinegar?
Planting seeds in a mealy mouth?
Even great morsels still come out shitty!
The dry fruit that is NUTS!
Cheers to the water chestnut, streamed, boiled, baked, it stays the same.
And I giggle at the fruiting nuttiness of fruitcakes.
I'm convinced I was a banana in my last life!
Does this seem spoiled or wilted?
Maybe the winter produce?
It is not glossed with pesticides or wax .
And why is the number 5 and tomatoes linked? Think.
Spouts like ideas need to be weeded.
Yet growth is limited by DNA.
Spores don't fly, their just carried by the breeze.
I still use Dandelions to see if I like butter.
How would we change if we tended our weeds and forgot of gardens?
Would the hoes still hoe?
Bitter, sweet, sour, can you lick and empower?
This is not a bath in raspberry vinaigrette and waited for the monster.
Can you hunt your sickness like wild game?
Or would that be killing your health?
There is no perfect meal!
Vitamins just make Luke warm!!
I've let this soup simmer longer enough
It is a vividly broth as can be
So do you use a groovy spoon?
And just a matter of taste!
