Charles Simic would be appalled...
One of my favorite poems by Charles Simic:
Watermelons
Green Buddahs
On the fruit stand.
We eat the smile
And spit out the teeth.
This poem evokes several visuals/emotions for me each time I read it. Today however it is a visual of me heaving the whole fucking watermelon into the windshield of a parked car. I need a hobby...:P
