green beans

colors of things

in supermarkets

or stores

lined up like

soldiers plastic

alert

so very there

its all zen-like

and I stare

maybe this is paradise

like God's son said

and we don't have

the right eyes

mustard

mayonaisse

macaroons

meats

magazines

...on and on..

nothing is superfluous

to the whole

but what is this big

infinite organic machine

I used to like to steal a few raw

green beans and eat them right there

but haven't done

that in a while
