A Pic To Be Picked Up By Queen Yelpia

________________________________________________________________________________________________



The grandeur of this still-life
is in the peppers whose wrinkles
would disqualify them
from professional
vegetable photo-sessions.
 
The dimpled eggplant
with flattened skin
and aged stem
would be trashed
by most photographers.
 
The apple, defiantly,
wears a label sticker.

It could have been
a very expensive dress
worn by a woman
obligated to show off
the label.

That happens in the real world.

This is not a photograph
of shiny, ebullient, seductive
vegetables and fruits,
accompanied by 
a mealy-mouthed foodie.

But I can guarantee you
that the resultant dish
created by Queen Yelpia
will have your taste buds
pirouetting with joy.
