Grapefruit: an emo poem

Succulent organic pink grapefruit,

your juice attacks my desk in squirts:

nature triumphing over man-made.

You are tart, like my life.

But you have done some good in your short existence

spreading toxin-free, eco-friendly nourishment.

My stay on earth is longer.

Yet what have I done?

Less than you, grapefruit.

If a monster were to eat me today

scrape up my flesh with a spoon

as I did to you

what would I leave behind?

Less than you.
