Cabbage, carrots,
Cucumbers, corn
Slowly fading
Into might've-beens.
Give it substance!
Vegetable
Or animal
Meaning. Perchance
More than happenstance.
Make it linger!
Zesty deeds
Memorial
Timeless flavors
Demanding "encore!"
Stop! The bell's rung!
Mouths expecting
Peerless virtue
A dish that's sung
By priests and kings.
Yet soup's still soup
Homogenous
Faceless liquid
And but a sip
Can drain The Cup.
