i’ve never had a peach before

i hate peaches

the fuzz is more like hair 

and the disgusting pit is the worst 

it looks like my dried up brain 

i hate summertime

the sun stabs rays into my skin

i feel dry 

and sweaty 

at the same time        why 

are my armpits sweaty but 

my skin is dry            how 

does that happen? 

and i hate my insides

what is happening inside? inside 

i am gasping and grasping 

for a breath 

and there’s a 

deep 

deep 

deep 

pit in my stomach 

but if i try 

to think about        why 

that pit is there 

my eyes well up

the pit is deeper than before 

maybe i’m falling in

maybe im crawling out

im in the pit being swallowed whole 

no

not yet 

i don’t feel like i’m being consumed 

but i am always waiting 

for it to happen 

it never comes 

i don’t know 

maybe i am the peach pit

i am not meant to be consumed 

but instead thrown away or 

buried in the ground somewhere 

deep 

deep 

deep
