The Job Of An Apple – Ronna Bloom
The job of an apple is to be hard, to be
soft, to be crisp, to be red,
yellow and green. The job of an apple
is to be pie, to be given to the teacher,
to be rotten.
The job of an apple is to be bad
and good, to be peeled, cored, cut,
bitten and bruised. The job of an apple
is to pose for painters, roll behind
fridges, behind grocery aisles,
to be hidden, wrapped in paper, stored for months,
brought out in the dry heat of India and eaten like a treasure.
The job of an apple is to be handed over in orchards, to be wanted and forbidden.
The job of an apple is to be Golden
Delicious, Granny Smith and crab.
The job of an apple is to be imported,
banned and confiscated going through customs
from Montreal to New York.
The job of an apple is to be round. Grow.
Drop. Go black in the middle when cut.
To be thrown at politicians. To be carried around
for days, to change hands, to change hands,
to change hands. The job of an apple is
to be a different poem in the mouth of every eater.
The job of an apple is to be juice.
Would like a short analysis 🙂 Thanks!

In French you will possibly desire to understand discover out the thank you to pronounce the letters, ie: might desire to you pronounce ‘ll’ as ‘ai’ as in bouteille. i’ve got a Polish student who’s interpreting English very promptly although some issues he has a topic concerns with are silly issues like double meanings and colloquial words.
