The Sad Vegetable Enthusiast
by Christopher W. PineĀ 

The sad vegetable enthusiast
walked from kiosk to kiosk
searching for the perfect organically grown tomato
so red - and ripe
His heart was still as his eyes alighted
on a tomato
its globular shape, entrancing
only to find an imperfection on the other side
A bruise - it smarted
Disappointment bloomed
like when you are talking
to an attractive girl and notice
a faint line
in her spray tan.
