Description
eating peachesis an art form
fuzzy skin
to the roof of my mouth
painting chins
with textures
orchestrated
with subtle
sucking noises
drip
drip
mash your face
toward the pit
mash
mash
chip away
deeper
stop to take a drink
hold it at arm's length
it always looks better from a distance
wipe with your sleeve if you must
wipe
wipe
skip the pit across the creek
call it a day

You know Mike, I've never actually eaten a peach, I mean I've had peaches in one form of other, but never just a peach without slicing and whatever. It's always in rasberry syrup....

I'll try. It's so hard to pick fruit sometimes. I did pick a perfect pineapple yesterday. Yum, I think pineapple is my favorite fruit...so far.

ahhh pineapples, the fruit of pacific royalty. I love them but am too lazy to cut them up so i buy them pre cut which isn't anywhere nearly as good and i end up cursing my laziness

Bryan cuts the pineapples for us, so yeah, I guess you could call me lazy in that sense as well, but yeah, pineapple is yummy.
