There’s a peach in the fridge.
You have it.

But please
take your time:
peaches are
unsatisfying
when cold.

First,
feather-
touch
the whole
fruit.

Now lick it.

Feel the fur
as it yields,
as it gives,
as you tongue
the flesh swelling
to meet your mouth,
the juice oozing
between your teeth.

Some people
eat peaches
too quickly.

They seize them,
squeeze them,
gobble them down
too fast,
too soon.
No good.
What’s the rush?

Take it easy.

Anticipation whets  
the appetite.
Take your time.

Alright!

Now !

Now!

YES!

And appreciate please,
I do not offer peaches
to just anyone these days.
