2001/soupday

Soup day
I think.
Yesterday was hot.
Salad.
I have turnips
in the frig,
the kind I like,
the small white
ones that seem
clean.
Not the ruddy ones
with the purple
stripe,
that look like
something that grew
in the Earth,
the turnips
my mother cooked,
which I was surprised
to discover
I liked.
