My Life as an Artichoke

by Ryan Nardi

My life is like an artichoke:
many bitter leaves
with nothing much in between,
but with a sweet-soft center.

...now, see what i mean about you and Vonnegut, a kingly write and like Langston Hughes' pome, What Happens to a Dream deferred?...his 43 words describing a human ailment of human needs...and this ditty of 19 words describe you as you see you...Socrates would be proud, Ryan Nardi 'knows thyself' he'd exclaim, i too have a soft-center...smack-0 write...
