Apple.
My computer is a piece of shit.
I am always on it
wishing I had a new one.
I even search for new computers
on my old computer
maybe that is why it hates me.
or maybe i just need an Apple.

Apple
I’ve had a lot of apples in my life
Some sweet, some sour, some crabby
Some rotten down to the very core
All different sizes and from different places
Most of them great, but apples were never my favorite fruit
But one day I spotted this beautiful apple
She stood out from the entire bushel
I knew I had to have her; I had to make that apple mine
So I paid for the apple and took it home
I gave it a quick shirt dusting and a rinse in the sink
Finally, I bit
And instantly I knew
This was the best apple I had ever had
I had been waiting with faded breath for an apple like this
And now she was mine; all of her
From her silky smooth skin, to her sweet inside
Even the poisonous seeds, where her darkest secrets lie
They are mine; all of them, and I could not be happier
I smiled, with little bits of apple skin still left in my teeth
Then I looked at my girl and kissed her, on the apple of her cheek

Apple
You were my first fruit.
Was told I shouldn't have you.
But I just had to know what I was missing.
Felt your flesh between my teeth,
I tasted truth.
Of course I thought I knew it all.
Still think I do.
She stirs alone as I serve my penance.
A life of solitude, permanently sentenced.
