my apologies to celery

my eyes widened
when i saw
the picture and the article
in the food
section of the paper.
it read,
when celery takes the center
stage.
how is this possible?
what dish
could possibly be
centered around celery?
when was the last
time i ate celery, or thought
about celery, or
considered buying any.
maybe when my mother
was alive and she spread
cream cheese down the middle
for the holidays. 
arranging it in a serving
dish next to olives. but
my mind has always been
made up about this
green, translucent vegetable
despite it's nice
color and no calorie
attributes.
i don't care for it.
