Possible Observations to Consider About Life Through the Metaphor of Food
the dehydrated pea rattling around an empty plastic bottle
makes a great rattle for a child but
represents the entirety of your mortality

you take your tea with milk and sugar
same as your father
and recycle the teabag to make another cup
