antiquated

by Jon / Capricorn - Not entered

roadside stand
with watermeloncornpeachonion
hand painted sign " for sale "
letting everyone indulge

a symbiotic staple in the
rolling hills
of christopher's misadventures
drawing bleary-eyed 
are-we-there-yet ? appetites ,
curious and searching ,
for that pear to fill their void

antiquated entrepreneurs ,
calloused hands , tilled this earth ,
will beam with satisfaction
for every treasure turned to coin ,
there is no other way . . .

Reason for writing:

    This was sparked by memories of travelling the backroads of
the southern states . Ther must be something mystical about
boiled peanuts , vidalia onions , peaches , and watermelon .
Roadside vendors selling soul food , Who'd've thought. If 
you have any comments , please , please leave them , thanks.
