Sometimes Life is Poetic on its Own

     This morning I was too lazy to go to Publix and buy myself fresh fruits for breakfast, so I went without. Consequently, this evening on my way to visit Marie I stopped by Publix to buy fresh fruits. Marie called and asked if I could pick up some Yoo-hoo, for which she possessed an unholy lust. When I agreed, she said, "Thanks, I adore you." I replied,"No problem," hesitated, and then added, "And please don't say 'I adore you.' I'm sorry." But she had already hung up.

     I bought one pear, one plum, and two bananas. I will eat the pear first, because I do not know how quickly they ripen. I will eat the plum on Friday, because if I left a banana until then it would be too ripe. The bananas I will eat in-between. I also bought three mini-cannoli; one each for myself, Marie, and Chef. They did not have any Yoo-hoo, so I went to the corner gas station to get a bottle. I gave the cashier a five, and it was not until I was almost back to my car that I realized he had given me change as if I'd given him a ten. I went back and stood in line to give him back five dollars. I don't think he understood my broken, mumbled hesitation. Explanation. I left the five on the counter and got out.
