Stone Soup

The cannibals all said
I am not fit to eat –
too old and stringy, too
gamey, not handsome enough

Is this what is meant
by pot luck? I am out
of hot water but thank
goodness you are still

sweet on me, I’m still
to your taste, you chased
me for years was I
fast food? I'm your tall drink

And supersized feet,
your happy meal with
love the free toy –
its hot wheels and

Wind up vroom (Woah! Not
appropriate for all ages!)
the two of us a moveable
feast until the time

Comes we celebrate our
Last Supper. Like children
we're still skipping rocks across
the stone soup of graves
