just one pear

i've bought bags of cherries,
of grapes,
of apples even,
and oranges.
boxes of strawberries,
blue berries,
a bunch of bananas.
but when it comes to pears,
one will do,
maybe two, the second one
being thrown out,
gone brown before
the first bite.
one pear seems to hold
me throughout the year.
