Could be a minute
Or could be half an hour
Don’t freaking judge me

Jalepeño
Famous for your heat
Maybe just for once you would
Like to be called cute
Tomato
Round, red, fist-sized fruit
Or some say vegetable
Maybe fruitable?
Breadstick
Buttered and salted
Steaming pan of soft soldiers
Stand and deliver!
Earth
Green and blue, mother
Mountains and valleys, mother
Dirt and sky, mother
Cumulus
Above all of us
In your ivory tower
Who stands above you?
Sense
It would appear that
Each one of us are rich in
Our own common sense
Woodchips
Exploded timbers
Scattered on gardens, playgrounds
Splinters, fat and thin
Soda Pop
Fizzles and bubbles
Sugary and spicy-sweet
Lip-smack refreshing
Pizza
The golden-firm crust
Sweet-tangy marinara
Thick, stringy-hot cheese
