i refuse to eat that

there was a time
when i would
gracefully
praise the spoon of 
lima beans
ladled onto
my plate. i'd smile.
I'd eat.
i was a compromising
soul,
easy to get along
with,
no quarrel with
others, just accepting
what the world
would bring,
keeping the peace.
but things have
changed.
there are many things now
that i refuse to eat.
