2001/carrots

He likes his carrots
raw,
I prefer them cooked
to bring out their
sweetness,
sufficient in itself
without salt or butter.

I try to pay attention
to things like that,
what I like in its
natural state,
without sauce or
accompaniment.

Potatoes need too much
to be brought around
to taste,
I avoid them,
except in public places,
where they are
often
the only choice.
