Melon Crack 


.. I am just eating a raw melon that cracks in between my teeth like a radish, 


Zuisht!!!! 



TH[I]S[i]s:                     sellastia ohnostist, 
 
in laffian tides viods your tipping nocafic 
it sets, 
perhaps Januaries? 

inlier mestices fiveral lissateaus tellampic 
up on varialla elica: the peanutbutter apple, 
appl–y 
 

a]c[tic finger 


ann–y,                                                                             did I? 

.. just break through the epicarp of my second honeydew slice? 

upper canine and soft palate epicrié 
when the fridge won’t close
