My walks are becoming a moveable feast
what with windfall apples and pears at the least.
Half a mile north is the house with the tree
drooping over the sign reading, “Pick figs. They’re free.”
Over this fence crawls a bramble of berries.
In that vacant lot is a tree full of cherries.
Next to the street in the shade of the trees
is a pile of zucchini with a note, “Take some. PLEASE.”
You’re bombarded with plums if you stroll down that hill.
Hanging over the sidewalk is fennel and dill.
Don’t steal a tomato. That’s really so rude
when, wherever you turn, you’re surrounded by food.
I can snack my way out, and then nibble back home.
It’s a moveable feast, wherever I roam.
