Sushi Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Sushi

Inside our parking lot
Pet shop and restaurant
Are neighbors, wall to wall.

I stop for a while,
Stand with open eyes.

Read the signs,
"The wild birds, "
A "Sushi restaurant."

One saves the cat and dog,
Other serves the fish raw.

First wonder then ponder,
In despair and anger:
"What are we? "
"Human? "

Feel ashamed,
Embarrassed,
Crazy human!

Envy the dinosaurs,
Envision the mammoths.

That is our destiny,
I see them in waiting.

We consumed their bodies,
As oil and gasoline,
Who will use our bodies?
"As what? " "When? "
