i don't do this often, but today i was inspired.
'three pounds for a dollar'
the apples may be getting soft
but to me, they are perfect
as i sit by the window
and bite through the sour green skin,
i can taste
the fading ripeness
as i look outside
i can see and smell the same,
the ripeness of summer fading
into the softness of fall
the sun is still warm
the children are still laughing
the apples are still sweet
and at three pounds for a dollar
who could possibly resist?
