A delicate balance

A delicate balance
Between aficionado
And delicacy
Invents a crisis
Of prey overwhelming predator
An avalanche of food
A stampede of rare meat
Engulfing the pollution
Filled with toxic chemicals
And byproducts
Every lawn becomes a garden
Every flower is a rose
Each stem covered with thorns
The sewers fill with wine
And the heavens rain
A delicate sauce
From clouds of exotic smoke
