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.
But soup's still soup.
Homogenous,
Faceless liquid.
And but a sip
Can drain The Cup.
