A little Gray Building

Covered in soft hairs like the top of my dad’s head

I bite into it

Crunchy like a fresh apple from the farm

Releasing the goop held inside

Slimy like a slug

Extremely bitter

With its seeds bursting with every bite

Tongue puckering like a persimmon

It feels enormous and peculiar

Even disgusting

I love it
