pistachios rate greater than those
termagant indices proposing
peasant views make imaginary
perspectives ever so slightly edible
it sounds profoundly like
handing one a gratuitously naive
vision for eating as a
nutritious snack
yet food in the hand appeases immediately
whereas doggerel of self-sufficiency falls flat;
seeds intended for planting never
make it to the field
there was never a simpler
purpose planned in pistachios
other than
hand to mouth
