30 in 30 Purple Beans
Will I try? Will I do?
Will I post every one
for y’all to read?
Yes, I will try.
Yes, I will get it done.
No, I will not post
each and every one.
I will post
the ones that choose
your eyes to wash
over my words.
The poems that pick
this blog, see fit
to please my peers
with poignancy
or laughter
or the depth
wells are dug.
The poems
who choose
to be among
all the rest
won’t hold
offense,
won’t ask
or ponder
debatable
subjects.
The poem who
picks this place as its space
won’t talk about how ironic
my beautiful purple beans cook
to look and taste the same
as the green or waxy members
of their very large family.

Your beans are always tasty, Catherine, as is this poem.
