the wobbling vegan

it's not
easy dating a vegan,
someone who won't touch meat of any
kind.
forgoing the steak,
the bacon,
the ribs
and pork chops, they won't
even eat a single
piece of fried chicken
from Popeyes.
they wag their skinny finger
at General Tao's
crispy fried beef,
or a burger from Five Guys.
how slowly they are to get
up from a chair,
or get out of a car,
teetering from
near starvation,
pale and grumpy all the time,
dazed and confused,
anemic with
thinning hair.
you try
to trick them with an egg,
or two,
but they try to stab you with
the spork
they stole from
the Kale cafe where the entire
menu is written
in Sanskrit or Hindu.
