The Green Pepper
Written upon the contemplation of---a bell pepper prior to
chopping it up for stew
Flat white seeds cluster
Like ants on a candy cane
hiding the secret
of millions of unborn
pepper plants.
Slowly we blossom,
explode around our center,
dangling like Christmas balls
green against green.
The story of our lives lies
within us,
tucked in a safe with no key,
Nature's treasure chest.
