A wonky carrotdisrupts the perfect symmetryof supermarket veg.The stray Fujiinserts a sweet noteinto the tart concerto of Granny Smiths.Tempting fingers,this Lolita openly flauntsthe prospect of forbidden sweetness.This flagrant anomaly fishes for our eyes.Like William Carlos Williams’ wheelbarrowit reels us in. Unwittinglycomplicit in its subterfuge.In our aversion to nonconformityapparent in this apartheid of apples,we repatriate the single itinerant invaderback into its homeland,securing borders between baskets in the grocer’s shop.© Sheila Ash, 2018ashramblings
