Caren Krutsinger Poet Prose Poetry

Funny At First

It was funny at first.
I bought groceries at McDon’s
She switched grocery stores
And began shopping there too.

I made a famous Jell-o salad for neighborhood picnics.
She asked for the recipe and began bringing it too.
Okay. Dokey.
No problem. I can survive this.

She began showing up where ever I was.
The pool, clothing stores, the park.
It is as if she was tracking my phone.
I have a stalker I told people; and I laughed.

After a few months of this
It stopped being a coincidence
And it stopped being funny.

Shirley Hawkins October 26, 2021 at 4:48 PM Do you know her... If you do ask her for one of her recipes... Caren Krutsinger October 26, 2021 at 11:27 PM I do know her - three times over, three different women, following two friends and a sister.

Ilene Bauer October 26, 2021 at 12:44 PM creepy! i hope this is not still going on! well-described, caren, but very unsettling... Caren Krutsinger October 26, 2021 at 11:28 PM It is pretty much going on. So many women "like to be lead". I am no one of them though.

L Milton Hankins October 26, 2021 at 9:47 AM Hmmm...seems like you might need a protection order. Why would anyone do this, Caren. They must feel terribly insecure. Uh, what is that recipe???? Must be a winner. Just kiddin'. Caren Krutsinger October 26, 2021 at 11:28 PM Here is the secret recipe. Grate carrots. Throw the peelings into green Jell-O before it hardens. Bingo!
