Also Known as Strawberry Fields

They are selling Strawberry Globe Amaranth
at the farmer's market on Saturdays.

I hunger to tell someone this;
think about shouting it over
the television voice
bubbling out about
God Knows
in the living room.
If someone would just
Lower the volume!
Bright flowers;

Spike/fuzzy ruby cubes--
Please,
I am looking for something
like the pigeons in our window box
when it's raining.

And if I kissed the screen
I would feel caterpillars whispering;
I want lips like the fuzz-flower strawberries.

Wouldn't one kiss me then.

Sweet crackers,
I put everything into my mouth!
