CRISPY EXPLORES: A MULTITUDE OF SOME OF THE VERY INTERESTING COMPLEXITIES OF PARIS, FRANCE

Paris, as seen from a tall building across from the Eiffel Tower, if you are falling down on your left side, and holding your camera and taking a picture with your right before you fall down completely.

I bought big white roots in
a green sealed package in a
friendly bright grocery store
in Paris

Now repeat:

I saw bright red strawberries
held by a lonely old lady in
a typical busy grocery store
in Paris

Again:

I adored the crisp chocolatey noisettes
gracing the simple unadorned blue shelf
in a delicious young grocery store
in Paris

And finally:

What are the pretty Dutch schoolgirls
doing on the crowded vibrant metro
to the lonely dark cemetery so far away
from daring, scary Amsterdam in general
and the grocery store specifically
of Paris?

Or:

What are the pretty young schoolgirls doing
at the forbiddingly alluring cemetery
at midnight?

It’s Paris!
Go to the grocery store!
