Poetry, Avoiding Bad Papayas
 

A papaya must be eaten quickly or not at all.

A fruit that would have been in Eden’s larder,

Just before the fall

Of man

And when it all began,

Not a peach

And not a mango,

And not convincing enough

For one to tango,

With just a taste of interest

And not enough of love,

But it has texture

And color

And falls from above,

And can be embraced

Like a baby,

And in fact,

It sometimes smells like a baby.

So, you don’t wish to hold it very long

And you sing it a song,

And you caress it,

And you rock it

And make a place for it,

And do your best for it

And you are glad that it is here,

Because it is life at the level of its least,

And it completes a feast

Of promises,

And it will be here for you,

When the rest is gone.
