raw plants
taste so bad.
the toxins
on their skin and within
fending off
the mouths
of animals and us.
irritating our taste buds.
they want to live.
nature has a way
of putting
defensive
mechanisms into
play.
even in plants.
they are trying to kill us.
but we say no, not
so fast.
we boil and braise,
chop and bake,
fry
the hell out of them
until we can at last take
a bite, chew and swallow.
of course seasoning
and butter, sauces
and gravy
also help to take the sting
off.
