I was sitting at Ammo's basketball practice last night reading poetry and came across this-which made me think of you immediately: Marshall George Macbeth It occurred to Marshall that if he were a vegetable, he'd be a bean. Not one of your thin, stringy green beans, or your dry, marbly Burlotti beans. No, he'd be a broad bean, a rich, nutritious, meaningful bean, alert for advantages, inquisitive with potatoes, mixing with every kind and condition of vegetable, and a good friend to meat and lager. Yes, he'd leap from his huge rough pod with a loud popping sound into the pot: always in hot water and out of it with a soft heart inside his horny carapace. He'd carry the whole world's hunger on his broad shoulders, green with best butter or brown with gravy. And if some starving Indian saw his flesh bleeding when the gas was turned on or the knife went in he'd accept the homage and prayers, and become a god, and die like a man, which, as things were, wasn't so easy.
