Cut back on greens, the technician said,
too much Vitamin K
so Peggy sent back the
broccoli
for zucchini instead.
Then the salad had spinach
also off-limits.
She opted for kale
but that dreaded K sound
clotted the corpuscles.
She then ordered coleslaw
and when we got home we
saw
cabbage was high on no-no
list
and even worse with the
mayo.
Pale lettuce is the answer
famous for its absence of
K
as in clog. Let flow the blood
to all ports of call on
far archipelagoes
with its oxygen cargo
like a barge down the
Mississippi,
Old Man River minus the
mud,
no embolisms or eddies or
reefs.
Let it gurgle into
off-ramps, tributaries
like freeways at 3 AM
no jack-knifed big-rigs, no
road-rage.
You could roll a head of
lettuce
down the Grapevine but stay
away from
those greeny Ks in the
cabbage patch.
