and those brussels sprouts.

Little magic wands  
Stacked upon my plate

Forgetting he'd eaten asparagus

She said, 'Your wee will never become us'...

Asparagus
peeps tiny
green helmets
from brown beds, 
looking this way,
that,
to a spring sun
that has come again
like the vultures
to Hinckley,
Texas, settling
down
to business....

while carrots saw clear
the coming assault

Where to cut it?   It all depends.
If you take too much off the ends,
you will waste a lot of money.
This vegetable's expensive honey -
but if you err the other way,

Make a decision.  Have some guts.
Where to slice asparagus?...

Caper with asparagus porridge,
accompanies fake ravioli
with supreme sweet eggplant ...
All sipped with a porto wine
of passion fruit ....

rubbing mussels

crowded larva sections
inside peanut crumbs

and pineapple with avocado

"Impotent Conundrums"
   limp as asparagus
"Cratering Stegosaurus"

  and the old Rocker's gone soft
His new girlfriend's Maude Lynne

Whales and snails
Bees and fleas
Apples and eagles
All from the Big Bang

Planets shine and align
Bananas and cheetahs
Seashore and dinosaurs
All from the Big Bang

Peaches and cheeses
Asparagus and cactus
Human eye and butterflies
All from the Big Bang

Newborns and acorns
Pandas and pooches
Goose and spruce
All from the Big Bang

Really?...

“Flight 1036 to Berlin is cancelled;
Please see us for further assistance.”
Why do customs have to be so slow?
Instead of getting where I need to go,
I sit in a bench on the side of a shop
In Peru. They said the connection was
Cheap, but now I am forced to wait here.
Eating green food-colored asparagus
Instead of drinking coffee in the cafés of Berlin...
