A Vegetarian Sunset

Imagine you are sauntering through a wheat field just before sunset. You are wearing a thin tee-shirt to feel the breeze and denim pants so the grass and bugs don't itch. It is cool outside, but not chilly. The sky is cluttered with purples and pinks and oranges. Imagine seeing a monarch butterfly, no scratch that, two bright blue and yellow butterflies float just out of reach. You walk a little farther and feel the gentle sting from your stomach telling you it is time to eat. A plate magically appears out of no where on top of a pedestal that you probably forgot to imagine in your left. The rule about magically appearing plates is you always eat the food on it if there is any. And there is. Three fluffy, beautiful Hawaiian rolls sit atop the plate each split in half. The inside top of each roll has humus spread evenly on it, and the bottoms are complete with smooth cream cheese. Between the two complementary spreads lay a single slice of cucumber and a slice of juicy red tomato.
