Organic  Musings       You  say  I  am  really  cheesy,     And  I  naturally  ask  you,     What  kind?     Am  I  holy  like  Swiss  cheese,     Or  sharp-­‐witted  like  Cheddar,     Or  do  I  grate  on  your  nerves   Like  Mozzarella?       You  cringe  at  the  thought.     I  laugh.       I  said  you  were  fruity,     And  you  naturally  ask  me,     What  kind?     Are  you  being  fresh  like  a  strawberry,     Or  sour  like  a  lemon,     Or  are  you  tart  like  a  blueberry?       We  both  laugh,     Until  we  are  crying.       You  are  a  blueberry,  I  said.     And  I  picked  you.       I  tell  you  that  your  eyes   Match  the  night  sky,     Just  as  it  reaches  dusk,     And  if  I  were  an  artist     With  nothing  better  to  do   Than  make  organic  paint   From  fruits,     I  would  paint  both  your  eyes   And  the  sky  behind  you     With  blueberries.     But  you  know  I’m  not.       31
