my doctor says to me
over drinks
at the local pub,
i'm putting you on a plant
based diet
starting tomorrow.
I finish up my plate of baby back
ribs,
and wipe my mouth from
all the sauce, and say, okay.
but no lima beans, I hate lima
beans. and kale. can't eat kale.
too raw and tough to chew.
okay, okay, she says.
there's lots more vegetables to
choose from.
how about mashed potatoes with
a big wad of melting butter
on top, salt and pepper, maybe
some cheese and sour cream
too. sprinkles of dry bacon.
no. she says. i'll decide
on the menu.
okay, I tell her sadly,
as she shakes
her head and says I think
this is going to be harder
than I thought.
