DINNER

Bell peppers stuffed
with Smart Ground tofou
fused with Delmonte diced tomatoes
seasoned with basil, garlic and oregano
served with kale
fused with olive oil
sauteed pinenuts
shallots and garlic
served over veggie farfalla
pasta topped off with
the moans of pleasure
that comes with well-cooked
meals and good company
The Color Purple
on the TV
"til you do right by me
everything you even
think about gonna
fail" the moment of
freedom

And I am grateful
for the ability to prepare
such a meal and the love
of a good person
with whom to share it
