Edible Leather
you laugh
when I divide this 'shoe leather'
with a serrated knife,
a thin, hard beef marinated hours,
bought with my bottom dollar,
seasoned to perfection
to raise my fork in triumph,
as it settles on the tines.
Dripping meets the watery mouth.
Molars have their work,
as it turns and turns,
savored, a tough life
I will enjoy much longer
than those fools dining on
tender meat pleasantly presented
amid steamed broccoli,
carrots and cauliflowers
on an oversized, thick plate,
their wallets emptied
and long out the door, while I'm
on my third raspberry sangria,
washing down a merciful cow.

you laugh,
but I smile because I know
I got my money's worth.

and I didn't even need steak sauce.
