Peaches Merit
by KJ Hannah Greenberg

Peaches merit daily servings of lemon concentrate, cider vinegar, fresh cream.
Fennel can’t help but overdose children, while ilish fish remain ever tasty.

If I call you on your moral wanderings, while extending hands full of aceroia,
Is it possible to be blatant about the shearing of ethic’s stubborn sheep?

Suppose, that unperturbed, you chanced to factor various skills, also cinctures,
Into the mix of contracts which brought then, now keeps, us together.

Perchance, thereafter, your interpersonal abattoirs might render our congress’ meat,
Making us like so many other muted contestants bound for the glory of the stew pot.
