Express Lane

by JD Clay


I spotted her alone
In the produce section
Contemplating the perfect zucchini

Instantly
I became a vegetarian and suggested
A virgin olive oil

Stroking the zuke, she winked
And I knew she had more than salad
On her mind

Author's Note: The more I study this poem the more I agree with TA and Siri. So I took their advise and deleted the last stanza.

Evoking memories of a scene from the movie "Animal House" you've managed quite a tasteful and sensual scene with this one. Quite amusing and delightful. An excellent piece...!

Yes, subtle but suggestively subtle.

Haha, it's awesome. JJ

one could imagine how hard to ring up such amorous and risque articles at the register and how to bag such, a most difficult endeavour.

oh, how refreshing! you have put the cliche legend on the pedestal of poetic perspective!! you had me at zucchini!! ...if you're ever in san francisco, there is a famous pick up joint -- the produce aisle in the Marina district Safeway!

simply perfection...you've said so much in so few words...it makes me feel this poem...and that's exactly what i need right now...

Playful, tasteful, and downright tasty. Great use of language and produce to take innuendo to new heights.

Hey JD, how is it? I really enjoyed this little sensual adventure. Quite provocative!

Posted by Siri Lipscomb on 02/23/07 at 10:08 PM

I disagree with TA Jennings that it would be more effective without the last stanza. I think the last stanza is the last subtle ambiguity and clarifies the silent instant secret and perhaps intuitive intimacy. Delicioso! Heartsta, Siri
