So you can tie cherries' stems in knots with your tongue.
Do they taste any better?
I just swallow them by the handful,
I don't have time to spit out the stones.
It's apples to oranges, buddy.
We both fell near trees far apart,
but here we are crammed in the same produce bin;
Polished up, stacked half-a-dozen high,
soaked in poison so the bugs won't show.
And we're both rotting just as fast.

This is an intriguing piece that I'm still grappling with. Oddly affecting.

Hi again, Aresem. I read this piece yesterday and was rather intrigued by it. Having come back to it today, I noticed Scratch's comment, and couldn't agree more. An interesting, and original slant on the I.P.
