Fascinating
OctopusWings

Slich.
 1
You’d be surprised too
 2
If you looked down to blue
 3
Where red was supposed to be.
 4
Cutting carrots for stew
 5
And accidently instead you
 6
Cut the tip of your finger off.
 7
A sea of red
 8
Is blue instead.
 9
Oh, God, you’re an alien.

What a thrill —
My thumb instead of an onion.
The top quite gone
Except for a sort of hinge

Of skin



Hard for me to read anything about a vegetable accident and not think of Plath
