I went to the grocery store
and grabbed those little orange
globes and rolled them down
the aisles.
A sprig of asparagus in my teeth,
a leaf of lettuce as a fascinator.
Apples fill out the curves
in my shirt, while fiddlehead
ferns are earrings.
I handled the strawberries
one by one.
I put them in my pockets,
walked outside and squeezed
all those little ballooned hearts.
