Featured Poem Gusher by Charles Brown

Who would care about sunrays streaming
through the windows of the co-op except
someone filling a plastic container
with olive oil in the bulk produce aisle,
watching the light infuse the rising tide
of green-gold oil flowing from the spigot
almost as slowly as the sap once rose
