Grapefruit
Eventually they'll have feet
& given enough time, a language
of their own. What leg or spine
sprouting from the peel, time lapse,
the centuries flipped past and discarded.
What if this is just the beginning of the age
of the grapefruit. Here: maybe the first
entry because no one knows
which way the tree will branch
until the tree has grown too large
to uproot. Look at what the grapefruit
has become, all its progress
& invention sprouting at the leaf
a robot fruit plucked by a robot hand
