—
your fingers tear into the flesh of the orange.
rabid,
feral,
unkind.
my nails gently peel back the skin.
I hand it to you.
your fingers rip into the pomegranate.
I use a knife and open it gently for you.
you hold a apple in your hands,
and instead of tearing into it..
you hand it to me,
and I help you.
the next day,
you've peeled me an orange.
neat and clean.
