Only an Onion

I only wanted an onion.

Not really enough to go for groceries

I wanted to enjoy the summer afternoon

my morning was on the patio writing

My legs and my heart wanted to go for a walk

So I took a chance and stepped out in the heat.

I strolled down the sidewalk

Cook Street Village hummed lazily

I wandered past restaurants

Sidewalk tables filled with patrons

I wandered into shops

Shopping with my eyes only.

I purchased vegetables at an open air market.

But really ~ I only wanted an onion.
