Apple Woman, Pair of Pears
A woman shaped like an apple walked down the street eating a pear today. A pair of german shepherds crossed in front of her, tied together with a leash held by their german master, Klaus. Klaus too was eating a pear.
The pear core crumbled in Apple lady’s hands as she chewed the last bit. She threw it into the intersection, and wiped her sticky palms on her canvas pants. A car drove by at 60, mashing the remains of fruit flesh into the sticky asphalt.
The 3 germans ran away after the car, shouting, “Pear pear pear!” Klaus held on tightly to his own half-eaten fruit. His dogs had sticky tongues.
Apple lady walked on, singing, “Alouette, gentille alouette. Alouette. Je te plumerais.”
