Soups On

Home too early
the car parked askew
Home for lunch?

A silent no the answer
I didn't want to hear

I stare into the soup
The liquid depths a
mystery

Square carrots potatoes
and the occasional
pea mocking me

The empty Campbell's can
Red and White
Standing sentry
on the counter

Vegetarian Vegetable
forever burned
on the psyche
