the salad girl

she could eat
lettuce all night.
some artichokes
cut up and thrown
in, cranberries
and nuts, tomatoes
and onions, goat
cheese. toss in
some sliced cucumbers
and a radish or two
for color and she's
chowing down like
nobody's business.
she won't touch
a slice of red meat,
or even sniff a
dessert, bread,
forget about it. even
at this stage of
the game she refuses
to have fun and
satisfy her appetites,
any of them.
