Pear
White blossom
Beautiful
One day
Until then
I wrap you
In a moist paper towel
And a plastic bag
Vacuum sealed
In a dark cupboard
Warm
And wait
As I eat the flesh left behind
For germination
The radio plays:
What the people are saying
And we know every road, go, go
What the people are saying
There ain’t no berries on the trees
