Fruit Vendors

Fruit Vendors
 
a man with a cart of oranges on the side of the road
sells them with acclaim for their juice
sweet citrus that excites the tongue
for a moment of pleasure
 
i trustingly pay him with change from my pocket
and at first bite i know
that the product
lives up to his claims
 
another man in a room with his name on the door
framed papers verifying his
knowledge of all things fruit
 
blends of various concentrates
perfected recipes of long study
he attests will sweeten the very day
sharpen the ordinary mind
in marvelous ways
 
i decide not to buy
having not the means in my pocket
and an overwhelming feeling that
he is full of shit
