FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT BEING A SLICE OF HAM

ask the lettuce and the tomatoes
and the mayonnaise
how is it to be a ham and then be
put in the middle of a
sandwich?

it is not easy to be pressed
and be bitten, and be chewed and
swallowed

and then they tell you
that is what you are being made for

what meaning do you expect? would you rather
be the tea bag inside a cup filled with hot water?

so just be an ordinary ham and be happy
that you have still a family to be with

red shiny tomato slices, leafy green lettuce
and that oily and sour mayonnaise

and lastly, just feel the enjoyment of being pressed
it's Christmas somehow....
