Invasion of the Alien Lettuce - an art work by T Newfields Warning!
Mutant vegetables from outer space
are invading our green planet
& there's no escape
for any clinging
to the past

Some will be transformed into fiery peppers
whose acerbic acids spawn cancers
around their umbrils

Others will turn into puffed-up tomatoes
whose rancid seeds burst
from their piquant, liquid cores

Still others will mutate into noxious ivy
itching for relief
from the malefic emptiness they abhor

Only a few garbanzos & lentils
rooted in bean-nature
will be unfazed by any manifestations:
no matter how weird the garden appears
the bean scene stays grounded
to ancient bedrock
&
even if
diced, fried, or grated
feisty beans accept whatever comes
undaunted by sharp knives of logic
or hot kitchen flames
