Shakespeare's Monkeys

Infinite Monkeys. Infinite Typewriters.

More in ergo sum hominus

18. odio

i hate

the red skin
and tender pulp of it
the seeds
the snot around them

oh, it is bitter
but  the sauce  is  sweet
the juice slides down my throat

I am crushed

I am strained.

I am pasted.

I am diced. 

and I am whole.

What kind of fruit is this? Pomegranate? I don’t remember the snot. And the seeds are tart, not bitter. Tomatoes? But I never found their seeds bitter. And...snot?
Perhaps time for twenty-questions? The use of the title as text reminds me of Marianne Moore
