Purple Potato

It had become separated from the mob by 75 words

Yesterday I cooked too many potatoes
so that was the entree, then today
I found one little purple potato,
my impulse was to throw it away.

Instead I put it in the oven to bake
and in the meantime sliced three
portobellos and put them in hot oil
the bell went ding for the potato

so …

I mashed it up with oil and salt. Gestalt.
On another day I will eat like a beast. Feast.
