Yogurt and Honey

Yogurt.

"I begin the day buying yogurt in a small favorite grocery store."

Not pizza, nor gatorade.

Bananas

although they are imported from afar and grown in monocultures.

Attract fruit flies in August.

Peaches

locally grown with rainwater. I ate all the farmer's peaches alone

stacking them by the railroad tracks.

Water --

rainwater, tap water, distilled water, carbonated water, spring water �"

deep gulps, infinite sips.

Nuts

in moderation, or not, unsalted, raw, replacing chips. His bowl

of filberts, almonds, walnuts quiet weekday mornings.

Edible plant parts --

roots, leaves, stems, flowers, fruit, buds. In olive oil

or butter.

Potatoes --

look online how best to prepare. Baked or fried. With a little

fish or meat.

Tea and honey,

play and prayer. Swimming and running,

talking quietly.

Bread?

Bread's possible as the Bible. Each is liable

to bloat us.

Wine and dandelions.

Dandelion wine's Ray Bradbury's story. Cans in a pantry, books on a shelf

to the end of time.

Pasta

we used to call spaghetti, never noodles. I wonder if I can remember how to make

grandma's sauce.

Tomatoes --

cherry, grape. Grab God's eye

going by.
