Day one of vacation cancelled,

What a culture to berate the unfamiliar,

Such unwillingness to explore,

Good thing we have the good chef,

Food for the soul,

Beverages for the warm and the cold,

At heart,

It starts with tons of nurture,

Maybe generations of secrets,

Escaping to capture land,

Hurting as once they hurted,

Food for thought,

Never remain the way we were brought,

As nomads, as pilgrims, as slaves,

The new world thought us newness,

New wonders, new gods, new us,

Bad only how we choose,

Food for the dead,

At the alters the living laid.
