Market Juice


Transcription
Farmer's markets have an un-
canny way of drawing beautiful
women from the local vein like
hot blood. One wanders around
in a danger-laden daze--somehow
modeled in motion and stasis,
in luxuriantly lazy poses, they
hang, suspended over the air--
a sweet clear mist of humidity--
like ripe mangoes sweating their
morning dew pajamas, exuding
with this demur wet just a taste-
ful hint of their life-giving
juice within...the juice at these
markets is intoxicating, and I'm
willing to pay for just a glass
with my life, plus tip.
