organic annie

do you have
any distilled water,
bottled and cold
from a
mountain spring,
annie asks, as she
lies on the couch
like Cleopatra
in running shorts.
no. you say, but
if you go over
to the sink
and turn the faucet
to the left,
you'll have water.
what about an
organic piece of
fruit, an apple,
or a banana,
something scrubbed
clean, and local?
you throw her a
head of iceberg
lettuce from
guatemala, and say,
this will have
to hold you
until we go
to lunch.
