SHEPHERD’S  AND  APPLE PIE 

Apples, peaches, potatoes, chunks of beef,
just waiting: waiting, waiting, wondering  -
seeing the sharp silver  knife on the counter -
about to be picked up and then the chop,
chop, chop / cut, cut, cut / slice, slice, slice.

Life: growing, grazing, hanging there, till
purpose has arrived: becoming the shepherd's
or apple pie - becoming the  dinner or the dessert, existing for others. Wondering: do we know this is their purpose too?
