Lemonade

You and water,
Stirring the water
yellow slices at the bottom
first squeezed,
into the cup
lemon.

I cannot stand too much,
like the man in Italy selling
them like they were apples
to eat on the trail.

To bite
into a lemon
whole
no water,
is like facing the truth.

Natural lemon.
why mix you with sugar?

The Prince Bride,
a book, says
life
is
pain

The Labyrinth,
a movie, says
that’s
not
fair
Life is not fair. –David Bowie
the Goblin king

I guess they learned that Lemonade
was made from Lemons.
