Selection

When we go to the supermarket you always insist on
buying apples that are bruised or damaged.
You say no one else will want them and
it would be a shame if they were wasted

and you always buy Houmus with the
shortest sell by date, in case it ends up
being stranded on that cold fluorescent shelf.

At first I was amused, even impressed by this
until I remembered, it was you who had asked me out.
