I left some dead fruit
By the window ledge
In the hopes fruitflies
Would sprout and break free
their torrid wings from the grapevine roots.
Instead, all I got was a smelly room
And grapes that hissed dissapointedly
As they crackled inward in the background
(rotting flesh now too heavy
to carry on stiffupperlipped).
How sunny it is outside. How much
Sunnier the weatherman says it'll be
tomorrow. Atleast, I think with my last thought
Of the day,
Atleast I'll remember to get fresh fruit tomorrow.
