juicy fruit
A Poem by
Marie Harrison
a rant
juicy fruit
this
world
she
chews me up
like
juicy fruit gum
chewing
and chomping
snapping
on me
blowing
me into
bubbles
over
and over
until
I fight back
by
covering her
nose
and eyelashes
with
my stickiness
at
least that b***h
could
floss or chew
a breath
mint before
all of
my flavor
is
lost
when
she's done with me
she
blows me into the
dirty
miserable streets
abandoning
me to
be
walked on by
people's
disgusting
feet
some
high-powered
executive
chick
ms.
pickwick
carries
me home on
her
high heeled pumps
inside
her powder room
she
pulls me off with a
kleenex
when she
gets
home
before
she discards me
into
the trash can she
happily
picks up
clumps
of her
yorkie
poopsie's
doo
doo
with the
kleenex
great
I get to
spend
eternity
in the
landfill
enveloped
in a
kleenex
with
dog
s**t
squished
next
to me

This is a great poem. I absaloutely love the style in which it was writen, the ambiguity of the start and the lesson at the end. This is an awesome poem to which the poet I humbly praise for it's awesomeness. Great job!

haha this is silly, but kind of cute
the ending feels a little abrupt. and i feel like there's a deeper meaning behind this poem that's trying to poke through, and i think it would improve the piece if you could make a little room for that meaning to come through.
