take it slow
through this part of the field
the blueberries will wait…
Fruit
was the blue I think
blueberries are…
so this lady at the store was all in a snit dunno why…
Every good story should include:
a dream sequence
a pineapple, or alternative …
I am hollow,
perhaps,
but not empty…
Apes constant eating but, shhh… hear the mangoes weep Leaving their brothers
So simple,
so smooth
– crunch creates explosion…
the bruise
on my left thigh
is a strawberry…
so heres the thing about fruits
the not grapefruit ones are the best
and the correct order is lemons then limes then oranges
all other fruits are inferior unless theyre watermelons which get a pass for
We used to say we had blueberry eyes,
my sister and I.
I liked that blueberries are round – –
easy to imagine actual
berries in place of our irises….
