knows where it stands
with the other fruit.
green
skinned or brown.
fragile with
a curious short shelf life.
one pear
per year and you're done.
you never see
a bag of pears
next to a bag
of apples or
oranges.
you can't roll one
along
on the belt,
with its odd shape.
you have to carry it
to the clerk
and smile when she
says,
just one?
