Silver Queen


How do you tell when you*ve had a good nap?  I figure waking up with sweet corn on my mind is a sign.

I woke up from the nap,
Realized I have not had sweet corn
At all
This summer.
I figure I must have needed
The sleep
To wake up with sweet corn
On my mind.
Tomorrow begins the search
For Silver Queen
In the western suburbs.
The old stand closed a year ago
When the field grew monster houses.
Tomorrow we search for
Silver Queen
Even though I understand
There are new varieties
To take its place.
Varieties
With less romantic names.
