One midnight long
before a single one
of us was born,
Rutabaga and Kohlrabi
fell asleep together
and awakened
into quasi-human form.
(Root vegetables tend quite smoothly
to surrender
with serenity: they
rarely are alarmed.)
Rutabaga took
Kohlrabi into its thick
unaccustomed arms
to keep it warm.
They lived until
they died upon
a little rooty acre,
which they farmed.
