Produce Sympathy
A little blonde beauty in a white tank top and blue jeans 
browses the produce department; 
her soft hands with manicured nails of a shy-blushed red 
grip a dark green shopping cart that perfectly matches her eyes. 
Amongst the luscious fruit she's the perfect peach he expects to pluck. 
With a smirk and a swagger, 
he makes his approach, 
with the grapes, bitter tangerines, 
and pristine pears looking on. 
After a lime-sour stare, 
she coldly turns away; 
wheeling off with his pride. 
Amidst the now giggling audience, 
a single bruised banana sighs in sympathy.
