Manic Monday: Taste

They all talk crooked now.
Grandma talked straight,
but she thought a little crooked.
Even those who loved her called her crazy.

She grew tomato plants taller than I was
and I can still taste the tangy sour summer
blood and mealy flesh.

All thinking should be slightly off center. It keeps people guessing. Now tomatoes right off the vine are one of life's treasures.

I haven't had a really good tomato in quite some time.
