food

it gets my gander up.
those tomatoes--how they glisten
like cats' eyes
lit by flame.
running my hand through a bowl
of dried beans I wonder
what the life of an endosperm is like.
quiet? subdued? dark?
or perhaps something different altogether--
perilous and substantial,
always on the verge and then
down the gullet.
