NPM Day 8: Keeps The Doctor Away

I just ate an apple
It was terrible
There was no flavor
flavorless
The texture: grainy
It didn’t crunch it just
dissipated within my mouth
crumbling piece by piece
dry
The juices weren’t vibrant
just sweet,
And the skin didn’t rip
against my teeth
it merely bent.

Hollow, the apple felt
hollow
A state in which hallowed apples
should not exist
(this obviously not a hallowed apple)

I take a moment though and ponder
How I treated this apple
How I kept it in the pocket of my jacket
For 3 hrs
waiting to consume
I failed? It failed?
flavorless, dry, hollow
