meditations on
boiled broccoli dinner
before a keyboard
Eat not only stalks
rejoice in the flowers too
they are good for you
Listening to Bach
Fugue in D Minor
Mad flights of order
Too strong, raw, to suit
boil gently five minutes
floral burst in my mouth
giggly, hempen
hungry and really tasting
broccoli is life
manic trails of thought
music soothes the savage beast
trees the size of fork
fill in your own blanks
then buddha make another
miracle: called, snow
refill broccoli
that's what I'm talking about
gentle veggie steam
Prelude A Minor
with funky Winamp plugins?
"Installer corrupt!"
Prelude B Minor
Broccoli needs no plugins
Green, yet self-complete
