'Let Us'

Methinks my own soul must be a bright invisible green. - Thoreau

Today I bought a head at growth's market.

It was cold and floated.

Like that thing the Titanic struck.

I couldn't toss a salad with it.

Instead, it tossed you and me.

Sparing us from ptomaine by replacing 'toe' with 'row'.

Mixing truth with emotion.

More powerful than Caesar himself.

Cutting to the chase.

Releasing hidden flavor and inhibitions.

Stirring what lived inside.

Dressing us in vulnerability.

It 'let us' ...

Author's Note

"Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders." - Thoreau

From where I'm sitting, that head looks like it has frost bite! I seldom use iceberg anymore. I prefer romaine. It holds up, you know, like that thing the Titanic struck! ; )

...btw, great game yesterday!

Lol. my problem was always letting it sit in the fridge drawer for too long. one year i grew it myself in the backyard. went away to the shore on vacation for a week, came back and discovered that the animals had a feast.

omg - patriots look impressive yet again. held big ben rothlisberger & co. to just 3 points while gathering a healthy 33 themselves. just signed troublesome antonio brown but if there's anyone who can tame him has to be belichick ... :)
