Poverty Pizza
August 23, 2021
the key to a poverty pizza is not the poverty, it ��s the thrift
and gifted thus, one finds that glorious sandwich shop
famous for sandwiches bigger than your head
and bags of bread ends, finest in the land, in bags this big
hopping over to the liquidation center for bravery meat
where you ��re not sure what ��s in it, but at some point it moved
or at least shambled and bleated quietly in a forsaken farmstead
before corporate holdings and failed boldness
now completed in broken charges gave it label
and quietly slipped it under the table
graded optimistically fit to go with random-sauce
a questionable tandem ride into gastric confessions
spoken late at night when one ��s forgotten to pre-cook
everything
vegetables, one finds in supermarket discards
where food banks take and distribute those questionable delights
New Englanders aren ��t quite ready to partake of
a hundred habaneros and similar flights of star fruit
scary cheese, and the greens someone ��s minister has ministered against
as they might have come from those people, unnamed others
whose flavorful wonders shall never sully white-bread homogeneity
now freed in layers, banana box after banana box
pleased to be raided in somewhat wilted state
converted to caramelized perfections, hot and sour
toasted under perfect heat
everything
in a poverty pizza comes surprise in the wee hours
squash blossoms under hints of brie, shaken gently with those forbidden spices
next day neighbors mowing lawns wandering over in the swelter
begging forgiveness, but what ��s that you ��re eating
where ��d you learn the recipe, where are you from, what language do you speak
no, but where are you from, you look ��merican, but
but
here ��s me eating the detritus you let get away
because it ��s by the gods and kittens better than the processed litter
scraped from factory gears you ��ve been stuffing down your children
and sure, you can have a slice, but before you do, beware
last I heard your church was speaking against these particular comforts
and I ��d dearly love to grab you full on by the feels
to fill you full of anything other than hate
that you might, stated, embrace just a bit
that benevolent corruption of loving human
and
if in turn you might
have just a paste of that factory waste
well, I ��m friendly �� watch, I ��ll taste
but have another slice
poverty pizza brooks no slights
and thrift or no, set by my door
we ��ll get on a ��ight
