Softly tender breathe
Arms like rubber bands chisel
Stealth ears sweet legs as
Turkey drumsticks firm moving

Ekphrasis
Lemons are sour and limes are green
mandarins are as sweet is anything
I like oranges
Kumquats and clementines have funny names
grapefruits and pomelos taste the same
I like oranges
Sweeties are as sweet is citrus goes
but I would rather eat a tangelo
I like oranges
Uglis help make your skin gleam
for high cholesterol eat a tangerine
I like oranges
Oranges oranges nay nay nay
makes a tasty marmalade
Orange soda is the best
OJ makes your breakfast
Orange Kool-AId childhoods
orange Hi-C is understood
Orange sherbet, zest from the peal
orange is a fantastic smell
Eat them raw piece by piece
oranges are a juicy feast
Orange candies fun to eat
oranges are a favorite treat
I like oranges
Supple grapefruits filled with love
A touch like no other
Felt in the dark without fear
Two overpowers one
Too much to handle
Circular manifestation of power
Real rivals fake
One jiggles, another bounces
Grapefruits, the fruit of our existence
THE FRUIT OF IT
we will never be the same again
the apples fell off the tree
remaining bananas we flee
this in it's self was meant to be
grapes and grapefruits are cousins

If apples grew on trees
where do grapes come from
and if honey comes from bees
why do they smash grapes to make wine
and if oranges are frozen in Florida
what are grapefruits made of
fruits are truths so absolute

FRUIT BASKET
11/29/17
The greasy spoon.
Tea by the mug full.
Sugars by the three
the color of canal water.
that's the brew for me.
No muesli or grapefruits.
No croissants to be seen.
Special k you must be kidding
No continental meats for me.
Sausages nice and blackened.
Bacon crispy as can be.
eggs flipped over
No running yolks for me.
No waffles with syrup.
No pancakes piled up high.
Banana's there for monkeys.
These are not for me.
Give me tinned tomatoes
and beans piled up high.
toast with jam and butter
cornflakes bowl piled high
And just to keep it healthy, a fresh orange juice on the side
comp entry 14/09
Grapefruits are my favorite fruit
The taste is sweet and quite acute
Worthy of praise, grapefruits are
The most delectable by far
No other fruit can quite compare
Not apple, coconut, or pear
I love my grapefruit, every night
We make sweet love, uncontrite
All the haters can go to hell
Grapefruit and I get along swell
If you're a bigot, **** yourself
I'm grapefruit-sexual, and proud of myself
When my father drowns in the sea,
Dripping from the skies,
A wet tapestry
Of sorrows, sorrows,
No time for sorrows.
Just good glad tomorrows.
My grateful grapefruits,
My chaste cherries,
My sullen soldier.
Feel your blessedness this day.
Life’s great joys bounce from sky to sea
Like one long pardonable dream.
Like the needle through the seam.
Grandpa was quite an eccentric fellow.
Apple butter sweetened his coffee.
Wore high suspenders of red and yellow.
He'd slip me peppermints and toffee.
He'd lift me high on the shiny tractor.
We'd traverse the rows of citrus groves.
Of course the weather was often a factor.
The air smelled of grapefruits,oranges and cloves.
We'd ride through the sagging trees,he and I.
Had to dodge irrigation streams.
I adored him so,I can't deny.
He listened to my colorful dreams.
One day I looked up and he was old.
Knew I'd be missing him before long.
The thought of him leaving made me cold.
In my life he was a joyful song.
So I made the most of his company.
Raptly listened as he told me his story.
It's written on my heart,you see.
For Grandpa has gone to live in glory.
Send us the sorry news
We'll throw it back to you in balls the size of grapefruits.
And in this game of obstacles you are not near me.
I hope not.
Fearing for your safety.
You are on the other side of a window where there's a
Cut-out square the size of your head
So I can kiss you on the forehead.
I am an organ donor
I want you all to know,
But don't let me go under
Before I'm ready to go.
I asked myself a question
"How will my body look
When I'm no longer in position
And after all they took?"
I'm making my request known
Before it is too late,
These are the things that you should do
Then you can seal my fate.
If you take out my eyeballs
Put two marbles in their place,
And if you remove my nose
Like Michael, cover it with lace.
If you take off my arm or leg
With broomsticks please replace,
Two grapefruits for my boobs, I beg
Some dead man's heart might race.
About my inner organs,
I won't worry about that,
But if you take my private spot
Give me a kitty cat.
