Young Chef by Chris Ford
In the process of my life things happen and stories need to be told.
It’s a life exposed
It’s like documenting a moment
Something will happen or be said
And I’ll say to myself
“I’ve got to write that”
In the recipe of my life crops grow and meals need to be prepared.
It’s a life satiated
It’s like cooking a feast
Something will grow or be harvested
And I’ll note to myself
“I’ve got to taste that”
Through the Train Window by Merton Wilton
Standing still
Watching as time travels quickly by
Like the world outside of a train window.
Each passing day adding weight to the sense of futility.
Exhaustion setting in.
“Are we there yet?”

Fruit Stand by Charley Lhasa
He has a stand on the corner of my block
Fruits and Vegetables only
24/7
Rain or shine
I call him Fruit Man
There’s two of them working 12 hour gigs
Like a nurse’s shift in a hospital
But they’re not, they are the Fruit Guys
In their country they could have been doctors
accountants or lawyers too
At the very least cable TV installers
Here they sell fruit
No complaints from these guys
A milk crate to sit on
Stoic and friendly enough
One box of strawberries or two ?
