MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Cushy Diet’

could it be called finicky
choosing food that has no face
frying bugs for lunch
saving the bum of human race

ice cubes on a plate
the vegan special best of all
zero fat and zilch of sugar
plus low cholesterol

wash it down with soda water
full of bubbles large and small
satiety in the belly
can it last from spring to fall

feed for livestock toasted oats
rainforests on the brink
those above in cushy seats
have no brain to think
