FLAVOUR.

Passing from cell to cell

The residual

Truth

Of food

Proves

What taste knows well:

That whatever doesn’t melt

In the mouth

Is left out

On the plate

To be rated

By lesser mortals

Whose portals

Are stuffed

With rougher

Substances

Or groceries

That closely

Resemble

The end of

The menu

And know no better

Than trend setters

Who met

At the table

To sample

The same staples  

Available

And declared them

Edible;

Still

Let them wilt

With the swill

They fill

Up the shelves with

And he’ll live

Richly

On the right

Diet.
