POTATO PEELER

I want to peel potatoes all day long.

I love peeling potatoes because of their lovely round shape

and their lovely little nodules. I like to feel the earthy texture

of their skin and I love to take a potato peeler to them.

Just to feel the knife bite through their skin and to reveal

the white flesh underneath.

There is such joy to behold in taking a bite

of an unpeeled potato. The feel of the earthy skin

on your tongue and those acidic juices running down your chin.

Such is heaven in my warped little head.
