Whole Foods

 

quinoa, barley, amaranth, millet, and oats

as long as the pantry jars are

replenished with brown grains

full of the necessary nutrients

and essential amino acids

there is no way I could die

and leave all this food behind

 

well that’s a wish

that will probably

not come to pass

 

I’ll pack the jars into a

separate paragraph in the

final will and testament

 

would you eat them

knowing how they were incapable of

actually sustaining life?
