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.
