GRATEFUL

I remember once wondering
whether eating a peach would
be okay under the circumstances
I happened to find myself in.

I don't really remember much
about the circumstances, but
I remember quite vividly
the peach itself and what

it tasted like when I finally
got up the courage to
eat it under whatever the
damned circumstances were.

It tasted like a peach, a fact
for which I will always be grateful.
