APPLE







Bring me the first bird
Who beaked into the juicy flesh of apple,
Chirped
And tales of a fruit
Spread like a silky blanket
Around the globe.

Bring me the first woman
Who hold the apple in her naked hands,
Put it in her curious mouth
And the bite took the shape of a serpent,
Bifurcating the earth in good and evil.

Bring me the first man
Who closed his hands round the neck of the apple,
Cried in his wildest voice:
" You are my apple,
The only apple, the golden apple,
The most beautiful apple in the world."

Bring me Antonio
Or anyone from Venice
Who thinks that a 
Goodly apple is rotten at the heart.

Bring me the first doctor of England
Who lost his bread
Because the queen gave away 
Free apples everyday.

Bring me those, first of their kind,
Whose job is to sell apples like hotcakes,
Metal boxes with tiny semi-metals inside
That I can't eat.

Bring me all the apple pies,
Apple cheeks, Apple eyes
And all the Adam's apples of this planet.

Bring me all these first,
Be fast,
Then I will tell you
The story of the APPLE.
