Screaming Carrot - Oct. 4, 2023

if plants have feelings

wouldn’t vegetarians

eat mouthfuls of guilt?

if they have a soul

wouldn’t that be murder?

they better hope scientists

don’t discover a carrot

screaming for its life

among the wounded leaves

and bloodied tomatoes

of a mixed green salad
