Notes About The Poem

Vegan crayons are made from green onions, purple potatoes, yellow corn and other would-be wasted vegetables.

===============================

Listen to poem:

Vegan Crayons

Have you heard 
a carrot scream, 
when dragged outta earth?
Or the yell of green beans
peeled alive
severed cross-wise, sectioned?
Or the curdling 
yell of purple potatoes 
plonked alive in 
boiling water?
Or the plaintive cry of yellow corn
cobs stripped-searched, naked.
All to be less-wasteful,
and draw humanely, 
and guilt-free,
in noise-cancelling
headphones.
