please pass me the salad-

i don't know what it is

looks like baby potato

apple and celery

spoiled by some mayo

i look up to see you look at me

what are you trying to say

.

please pass me the salad-

beetroot bleeds up at me

so pretty in that old-blood red

suffusing in my cheeks too

so tart upon my tongue

i feel your toes caress my calf

what are you trying to do

.

please pass me the salad-

i don't know where to look

grated cabbage and carrot

diced apple crunchy

raisins fat with juice

what would they say if they knew

we'd already feasted
