i'll drink to that my dear

we have a delightful conversation
about fruits

and vegetables.
i can tell she's on 

her third martini.
i hear the clink of the glass.

the splash of an olive
going in.
she starts off with asparagus

and i segue into
squash corn,

then gin.

we talk soups, and desserts.
how ripe
the pomegranates
are
this time of year.

but how small the oranges
are.
she claims

she's never tasted a potato quite
like the one
she had

last night for dinner.
those

granny apples are special
too.

maybe i'll make an apple for
you.
make the crust

thick and crispy, i tell her.
and she says

cheers. i'll drink to that
my dear.
