plate teaser
is plain food
what you desire
forget about the
ships launched
civilizations founded
tribes enslaved
so we can
just stay home
nourish our bodies
please our tongues
with
history’s edible mysteries
that sail out of the pantry
every night
docked on our tv tables
for instant gratification
upon critical
mastication

what it takes to make our everyday food ...highly spiced or even just "plain" as my stepson requested once . After a small speech about spices to him ....this poem evolved ....
