I Do Not Mind Waiting
they look unassuming and gentle
I know better, for they are not ripe
if I eat one now my mouth will pucker
the bitterness will leave a horrible aftertaste
in a few days, these persimmons will calm down
they will have a silky slippery honey-like taste
tangier than an apricot
I do not mind waiting
