Fruit Section
by
Louis Marvin

the poetry books

the poetry now on line

oh the long winded ones I have no time for, that my English teacher swear's will change my life

the brave regal, royals of poetry

those struggling soldiers and cowboys try to write a verse through campfire smoke

we are all some sorts of strange fruit

for you to squeeze, taste, and use on the cereal of your mind

and if you ain't got the time, or it sits sour on your flakes, instead of meekly and sweetly

then just discard it in the dumpster, like so much "rotten" fruit has gone before
