it too early, or too late,
there is a sweet
spot for
fruit
when it's time to take
a bite.
it can't linger in a wooden
crate
for weeks
on end,
or cross the ocean
in containers,
cardboard boxes and
steel bins,
it isn't right.
though they look fine
beneath the glow
and polish
of earnest hands
and fluorescent
lights.
these apples, these berries
these melons
won't please you,
wait until the season
is right.
