A Pome a Day for a Year

I am not a fan of lips on plates!
Why limit that vital sustenance estate?
If it is to catch missed food,
then you have a table and place mat,
or even,
if one is a fancy pants diner extraordinaire,
you have a table cloth!

If I am eating food, I require my
nourishment to go all the way to the edge,
I am holding breakfast or lunch
or brunch on this surface,
I need the whole of the plate
to partake of my palate’s insatiable
need of munch!

My plates should be like those
swimming pools on the tops of
sky rises! Constantly looking like
you are about to fall off into the mist!
I live my life at the end of the record,
my food must match haste!

I just like it, when plates
go all the way to the edge.
