The artichoke	A
With a tender heart	B
Dressed up like a warrior	C
Standing at attention it built	D
A small helmet	E
Under its scales	F
It remained	G
Unshakeable	H
By its side	I
The crazy vegetables	J
Uncurled	I
Their tendrills and leaf crowns	K
Throbbing bulbs	L
In the sub soil	M
The carrot	I
With its red mustaches	N
Was sleeping	O
The grapevine	P
Hung out to dry its branches	Q
Through which the wine will rise	R
The cabbage	S
Dedicated itself	T
To trying on skirts	U
The oregano	V
To perfuming the world	I
And the sweet	I
Artichoke	A
There in the garden	W
Dressed like a warrior	C
Burnished	I
Like a proud	I
Pomegrante	I
And one day	I
Side by side	I
In big wicker baskets	X
Walking through the market	I
To realize their dream	Y
The artichoke army	Z
In formation	W
Never was it so military	Z
Like on parade	I
The men	A2
In their white shirts	U
Among the vegetables	J
Were	C
The Marshals	J
Of the artichokes	B2
Lines in close order	C
Command voices	Q
And the bang	C2
Of a falling box	D2
	-
But	I
Then	A2
Maria	E2
Comes	F2
With her basket	I
She chooses	Q
An artichoke	A
She's not afraid of it	I
She examines it she observes it	I
Up against the light like it was an egg	G2
She buys it	I
She mixes it up	H2
In her handbag	I2
With a pair of shoes	J2
With a cabbage head and a	E2
Bottle	H
Of vinegar	C
Until	K2
She enters the kitchen	W
And submerges it in a pot	I
	-
Thus ends	L2
In peace	M2
This career	N2
Of the armed vegetable	H
Which is called an artichoke	A
Then	A2
Scale by scale	O2
We strip off	P2
The delicacy	Z
And eat	I
The peaceful mush	Q2
Of its green heart	I
