Dinner

I mixed apple cider vinegar

with hot sauce to serve over

lightly steamed swiss chard

I toasted red quinoa in olive oil

added water and brought to a boil

simmered until done

King salmon brushed with olive oil

fresh herbs sprinkled over pink meat

grilled to rare perfection

A fine accompaniment 

Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand

crisp and delicious

What is the point of my pretty tale

to relish finer things that bring pleasure

in a disgustingly fucked up world

Where did we get so lost

people die in tribal wars

starve and suffer with disease

The imbalance of resources

and opportunity that leaves 

too many suffering

I want to mix apple cider vinegar

with hot sauce to serve over

lightly steamed swiss chard

I want to feed the world

I don’t know how

I want to fix everything
