Vegetables Are So Sneaky
They grow huge before our eyes
but we can't see the growing.
We keep inventing them daily,
don’t we, these elaborate edible sculptures?
Presenting themselves to us new,
each morning our imaginings
are more potent than we realize.
How little we comprehend!
Ah, vitamins
(and by extension calories)
aren't real!
They are constructs.
(Even if you can dine on them.)
There is just so much invention.
It is all around.
The mystery is everywhere.
