Suburbanite by Jennifer a. Borthwick-Leslie
fruit
Make way for the
polished silver shopping carts
watch out -
too late.
Imagine right-handed rutabagas
rolling down the hill
escaping
the rath of
pregnant pomegranates.
Unwilling the timid
reducing the tired
and applauding the perplexed.
Excuse the eggplants -
they are purple and do not know better than
the crisp white peppery taste of daikon
kkkkkrruunccccchH!
Rediculous fuschia radishes
kkkkrruuunccccchH!
Hard lime-green apples
K-K-kkkkrrrrunncH!
Make way for the
polished silver shopping carts
watch out
too late.
