how tedious to eat one grape at at time
how inefficient
how swiftly a raccoon strips the vine
how do they do it
we discover all too late the next morning.
how then do we do it except by imitation
dangling a cluster over our open mouths
our teeth gently puncture the skin
releasing such sweetness onto our tongues
how sour underneath!
how quickly we reach for another
how much better I understand the efficiency of the raccoon,
the search for sweetness is universal.
