Cabbage
A high blue sky
baby blue up above me
wonder why it's blue?
Sky consists of nothingness...
is blue the color of nothing?
There's a white puff in the sky
looks like a cabbage
I reach as far as I can to eat it
and as my balance quakes, I topple over
like Humpty fucking Dumpty
though there are no king's horses and men
to come try and fix me up
I turn into a handyman
hammer my nails back in
tighten my bolts
dust myself off
and I reach again

this time I pluck that puffy cabbage out the sky
and I eat it.

It is cold and wet and crunchy
like any good cabbage should be.
