must have a crispy crust
   sweet insides
must be apples
    from Eden
Pumpkin pie
      will be served
with homemade whipped
      cream
I bake cakes and origami do
      crochet and add sachet
to chicken
     ignore when you choke upon
or disagree
    beat off if
necessary
   go on caring
about all I see,
    the least leaf
or blade of grass
    or one molecule
living
    I put out
heartfelt thanks to
    all Nature
puts upon my
   meager table.
I bow
   down.
I never
   give up.
