Decaying Fruit

Produce stand stops for fresh strawberries.
Nowhere to put them but your car.
Summer heat creeping through the glass.
The berries are wilting in the floorboard.
Unbeknownst to you.
Wilting like your love.
Unbeknownst to me.

Hello Sara Jorgensen, Yes strawberries in a heated car can go bad in the heat. Enjoy your day my friend.
