look at my salad

you are so proud
of the salad
you just made
that you have to
take a photo of
it and send it out
to your vegetarian
friends. it is
a green pyramid
of health.
abundant in
lettuce and blue
cheese, croutons
and cranberries.
some eggs. they
are not impressed
though. what, no
kale they say.
where's the broccoli,
the spinach,
the chick peas,
and red onions.
you write back,
I don't know.
what they don't
see is the cheese
burger and plate
of fries, just
out of the picture
frame. lettuce
tomato and onion
adorn the soft
roll. just a dab
of ketchup. a man's
gotta eat.
