the apple

he studies the apple,
turning
it over
in his old hand.
his sweater
on his wrist, the hat
shading
his eyes
from the florescent
sky.
he spins the green
apple, 
a world onto itself,
holds it to the light
and then
decides.
he puts it back onto
the stack
and moves
to the oranges on
the other side.
