New York Grown

I found these for you
at Shaw's
in Orleans

a place
I don't normally go.

I was looking for a slab of tuna
to photograph for the radio.

Wandering through the produce aisle on my way out
(all the bluefin was packed in plastic
and frozen),
I spotted this bag.

There they were:
crisp, red,
New York grown,
lovely pieces of
fall.

I guess March
isn't so bad;

after all,
you know what they say
about an apple a day.
