beans

those beans

their dark colors

their ominous growth

their rich flavors

and although many others

flee from their taste

i run into their arms

embracing their grace

and what if we

cook them so long

they fry

like scarabs in the sun

over time,

this conversation means

that i really like

fried beans



i was challenged by my friend to write a poem about beans in order to get out of a writing slump. i succeeded, and ended up liking the end result. tell me what your opinion is of beans.
