I can recall when water
buds clung to bare limbs.

Later they evaporated &
sprouting pips appeared.

Between the first leaves a
flower elbowed it’s way up.

Then along came the bees
and an occasional butterfly.

Suspended by an umbilical a
crab slowly became a pomme.

From green to yellow & then
a blushing red, turned to ***.

Ants got wind of the sweetness
first peck of an inquisitive crow.

But Newton fcuked it for everyone
worm apple, just fell down, below.
