and all I could offer it was an apple.
It said it was an adequate offering
for the time being.
Instead of bringing it to my lips
to have my teeth pierce it's skin
I opted to cut it's body into slices.
My hunger rolled it's eyes back
with delight as it savored
each sweet bit.
I paused and looked at
the half remaining on my plate
and saw one-third of a sticker
remaining on it.
I felt sickened for a moment
and realized there was nothing
I could do. So, I finished the rest
and hoped for the best.
