these apples

i'm thinking about eating
one of those
five apples I bought before
they all go bad.
honey crisp apples,
I do believe.
they're on the counter
next to the bananas that
have already turned
a dirty shade of brown.
I don't know why I keep
buying so much fruit.
I just can't seem to get
to it when I have other things
to choose from,
like ice cream.
like cake.
like chocolate chip cookies
with nuts.
