MY DINNER WITH PEDRO

A white plate heaped with broccoli
organically grown
giving tasteful nutrition
for our skin and our bones.

Frozen burritos
all curled up with beans,
‘stick to your ribs’ fare,
busting these seams.

An absence of ice cream,
no dessert--oh shucks,
now we’re in trouble,
shit out of luck!

Perhaps all is not lost,
this bowl of red cherries,
tempting tonight,
promises sweet juicy puckers
for after supper delight.

Wallace Shawn, Andre Gregory
theater people yes,
but together they’re not,
latest rumor has it
over dinner they fought.
