A Tomatoey Adventure - May 23, 2023

I could just wait

for the tomatoes

to turn red

seventy or so as hard and

unripe as this week’s writings

still hanging on a dozen pages

folks do make dishes

out of green tomatoes

but savory never sweet

not my normal spices

but what do I have to lose?

my stuff is so far from producing

a normal smile that maybe it’s time

to think off-color and off flavor

bring the unexpected together

create a whole new adventure

for the taste buds

one I’ll have to throw together

with a puckered face and

stir with a few prayers
