fruits sit in a
cardboard box
atop my small
black fridge as
I don't believe
in freezing them.
they came in from
the heat, so let them
bask there too, as
there's nothing more
terrible in this world
than an icy mango.
the whiter their skin
the crazier they call me,
until I bring up how the
tribesmen do it, then
their arguments deplete.
no fridge for fruit
can stand like a
monolith in my house,
and that's probably
the only time I'll
reference the name
of a poem in the
poem itself.
