The pickle is a lowly fruit,
or is it just a veggy?
Some say they’re really
very good, but
dills just leave me
edgy. Gurkins have
a sweetness
which cannot be denied,
but when I find them
on my plate, I
invariably hide
them underneath
a lettuce leaf or
accommodating chip.
Or better yet find
room for them
upon the floor and
let them slip
conveniently away.
The world is such
a tragic place,
full of unwanted
ardor. No one seems
to want it more
than these
vinegar cured
cucumbers.
