PAD Chapbook Challenge Day 25

Today's prompt from Poetic Asides: Write a "meal" poem. Without further comment, I offer this gentle satire:


Hipster Grace

Oh Lord,
or whatever higher power I may subscribe to,
bless this cold-brew coffee,
this microbrew IPA,
this kombucha, this green juice in a Mason jar.
Bless these kimchi tacos and tapas,
these sautéed ramps with kale and bacon,
this cauliflower-crust pizza with pancetta and foraged basil.
Bless this artisanal ancient-grain bread,
these matcha green tea donuts,
this blood orange gluten-free birthday cake.
In the name of Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram,
(click)
Amen.
