Relative Convenience
We have not been reduced
to harvesting spent lemon disks
and fatty skins of cooked
and consumed trout,
so let us be happy in our level
of consumption and not worry
about the occasional lack
of perfect choice in our sustenance.
Any fish or fruit will do
in this particular pinch
any rind or remains signals crisis
—for now let’s just call our life a cinch.
