Cucumber, cabbage, cauliflower:
beheaded, without voice
swirl around
shorn of leaves, travel in pieces
without choice
bounce from ground to ceramic plate
Greens of the sweetness
curled above my moist tongue
test their fate
soft, crumbled blades dream of living
for a second longer, drunk
desperately among my teeth stuck.

Don’t feel guilty—vegetables hate us, and if we didn’t eat them, they would eventually smother us.

But I do love my greens. This very moment I’m drinking my morning green smoothie 🙂
