Soul Food

by Tony Whitaker

skin is our wrapper
this evening

the filling a mixture
of meats with meaning

giving life
to the rest
of the best

of a serving
called man

Worthy and fascinating analogy. Reminds me of that old Twilight Zone (?) episode; A Cookbook for Man.

True soul food. *sorry, couldn't resist*

Tell me there's blues muses humming with some strings and horns at Tony's table for two.
