The Biggest Apple

Do you ever think of me?
Think of what we used to be?
It’s true our time was very short,
The briefest of carnal cohorts.
Almost thirty years ago,
Yet my mind is always blown 
Up, across, and far away, 
When I dream upon those days 
And reminisce about those nights 
In that city filled with lights.

We met by lucky circumstance,
Serendipity, random chance.
You, the older, taught me much.
Your lessons always turned to lust,
For I was not a little child;
Fully grown, I’d been defiled.
I had some fantasies to try;
You very graciously complied.

Hot and sweet and rarely sour
Was that summer that was ours.
The Biggest Apple, shined and new,
Was Red Delicious; so were you.

I love this poem because I loved that summer during graduate school. I didn’t eat any apples in the Big One, though.
