Vegetable Man

Brussel sprout fingers
with a Sauerkraut cauliflower brain
the fluffy spors of a SmartPrice pumpkin
hollowed out
decomposing
in sullen October rain

Frost bitten mushrooms
in sacred shadowed ground
lost to mother nature
wrapped in mystery
possibly the origin of religion
spiritually profound

Jeff Beck beckons on the radio
lolling lyrics roll my eyes back
crashing waves of solid sound
"I'm a loser baby!"
like the decaying mulsh
on which fungus feeds...
I belong in the ground
