Potato Nonsense

Potato Nonsense

Where are the answers to these questions?
I have not looked far enough yet,
that much I know,
to give in to a life bound by doubt and queries

Something in me tells me there is more
More, or maybe less....huh, now there's a thought....
This is not good enough for me
This existence driven by vain pursuit
of something

But where to start?
What do i strip away first
to get to the root
the heart
the essence
the truth

What happens when it feels done
like an over boiled potato....
falling apart and disintegrating....
meal, bland, and worst of all....
waterlogged!
Full of too much of a good thing and made useless.

Maybe I should end this poem now
Its moving into something about a root vegetable
is a potato actually a root vegetable?
Ah, back to that....
Getting to the root
the heart
the essence
the truth.

This is my favorite so far. I mean, it mentions food...
