Sister Cabbage

   
   "Sister Cabbage"
   
   When you're considered a cabbage, people attach things to you that sometimes belong, missing the unseen, and seeing the unseen, though not knowing if they do or not--pure puzzlement.  Like with Blake--was he a crank or a master of poetic mysticism?  And look at Francis Bacon, him really being Shakespeare, as might a cabbage say.
   They read you without merit--in a state of being under the bumfuzzle of it all.  
   So, Sister Cabbage read not the dictionary, but loved her thesaurus, while her college roommates would drink heavy spirits and get naked; next, into tickle fights, she would be finding a new way to order a chicken sandwich at the drive-thru, saying to the clown face:  "I'll have a yellow belly sandwich, and make it grilled, not fried."
