Savory, slavering in juices,
sauteed thoroughly, it sizzles
I anticipate that its flavor
will chain me to my table,
with all it's din and silences
.
A glass of red, mildly acrid,
is graced with the slightest hint
of vinegar and spices, distilled
to the point of the exquisite;
lolling about, a swirl upon the tips
.
Greenest white along the side,
an iceberg juts above the surface,
frosted in the sweeter sour cream,
with paprika, italian seasoning,
a ranch hands delicious vegetable dip
.
Finally, sated on the juices,
quenched on the dry bouquet,
and filled with the crispness
I move on to the cake

Great. Now I'm starving. Thanks. Actually--and I don't know if this was your intention, but either way it's there--the vivid imagery of just one meal seems like an ode to gluttony, except it really is just one meal.
I can see it, smell it, almost taste it! Geesh, last night I was contemplating a cleansing fast. Now, you've gone and ruined everything. (laughing, laughing, I am...) So well done.
