A Meeting in Boulder


they don’t drink wine
preferring to sip green tea demurely
from their stainless steel thermoses
purchased at Whole Foods,
guaranteed sweat-shop free.

they don’t eat cookies
because they have white sugar
that widens the waistline but
they might nibble a Fair Trade
chocolate bar.

enjoyment is measured by
how healthful it is and by how
many calories, by how much it
might affect athletic performance.

Pass the red wine with sulfites
and the cookies that are loaded
with butter and sugar.
I’ll take them all.
