Third Place: Brief Ode to Orlando's Market Vendors by Adi Basu-Dutt

Tasting continents in a stride,

curry at your left, tacos at your right, 

under the wide open sky. 

Stalls and trucks invite you to try a bite, 

meet a kind witch, befriend the jerky guy, 

cut open a coconut, smile bright and wide. 

Delight in the chance to unify 

fresh fruit and chili spice. Joys collide 

like fireworks over Eola at night.
