Lean Harvest

Corn Ending Early

By: Charles Giuliano - Sep 15, 2016

Lean Harvest

Mid September
Hot days and cool nights
No sign of frost
Weeks away
Local farm stand
Racine's for
Fresh corn
Picked that day
Grilled nicely
Dinner on the deck
Adams neighbors
Last weekend
She said
After Sunday
End of the crop
Not like before
Usually lasts till
Mid October
Month from now
Heat killed us
Matured too early
Packing in
Not coming back
That's it
Boss retiring
Had enough
Tomatoes though
Up the hill
Least for now
Bucket of seconds
Feast for a week
Come winter
No point buying
Big Y not
Ain't the same
Don't taste good
Joys of summer
Getting scarce
Hereabouts
