The Plate's Purgatory

Isn’t the absolute emptiness of a perfectly clean plate too tantalizing to bear?

Indeed, a plate left out invites either quick use or storage, for what does one need with a left out plate?

They clutter the room, fill it, empty ideological calories in a reality-based culinary environment.

Such joy could fill the plate!

What concoction of hopes and toil, of admiration and courage, endurance and honesty will make this plate worthy of its ceramic throne?

This plate sits empty, poised precariously on the edge of the counter, throwing its entire soul at getting

Fed.
