Eggplant

Eggplants are oval,
each one 
a different
squashed circle. 

There are too many perfect things in this world. 
My jaw aches from well said sentences, 
and my back aches from scanning the beach for marbles

I will venerate the odd,
Illogical curves of  
a frumpy purple vegetable. 

After roasting,
I will blend its egg-like 
inside
into Baba Ganoush.
