The third draft (yes I skipped the second one, I'll post that one later!) was about a food. I can't remember what we were reading when we decided to write about an encounter with food...I think it was Sydney Bolding's piece "Curry." But it was decided that we would write about a food. Just any food or spice that came to mind...so here we go...
"Sprouts
make everything better"
my roommate claims
as she tucks a handful between
two slices of Wonder bread and Walmart turkey.
I sidelong my egg whites,
prodding them with my fork-
adamant that all the sprouty
green pods could not
change half hearted
folded egg patties into
Mrs. Donna's plated magic.
