beginning, middle, and end

beautiful beginning
to something that I don't understand
like a freshly cut fruit
or a sweet potato just pulled out of the ground
natural, nutricious
delectable.

from the outer edges of the corner plots
come the greatest fruits of our time
chalked full of vitamins
that could sustain a pack of ten thousand people
or a herd of wildabeast
or two parrots

a bit tired in the middle
not as unknown as the initial stages
a calmer understanding of what it means to be ripe
still has a place in an advancing society
the ground needs a bit of tilling
and it time it will yeild

plopping out of stems and
bushes popping out and
roots emerging from the dirt
and formation of different shapes, sizes, volumes
variation to suit the needs of any person

the end.
only two steps past the middle,
which was just two steps beyond the beginning.
