Found this gif on Pinterest (link).

Here’s my first poem from this year’s mowing season. It might not appear to have anything to do with yard work. That’s OK. It was inspired by the energy I was pouring into mowing. Could be that it’s a form of worship.

A Zealot Orders a Cheeseburger

-or-

Dedicated to Beauty

Is it beautiful?

Hmm?

Is it beautiful?

What do you mean?

Can I stand, rapt, regarding it

for hours?

Oh, that…

Yes, that.

Depends…

On what?

How hungry are you?
