About Me

The Nectarine Poem by, Carolyn Creedon If I were a nectarine Would you be happy? You, with your permanent press shirt Your dusty brown loafers with the pennies missing You could bite down on me and The juice would run down the edge of your Mustache and Drip down Onto your heart. Your shirt would be stained with me As I am stained with you My darling, my honeydew If I were a nectarine. --- If I were an orange Would you be happy? You could peel off my skin! You could stand in some farmer’s yard You could steal me You could take advantage of the night to Pluck me, boldly From some farmer’s tree; I would taste the sweeter For being forbidden fruit As do you My darling, my kumquat My overripe grapefruit too long on the limb My Tom. --- If I were a button-not a fruit- A button Missing off your precious permanent press shirt And you found me Wedged Between the stairway and a pair of your wife’s Navy blue pumps You could bite me You could bite down so hard you would break Your tooth As I have been broken, by you My darling, my broken toothed angel, My faulty, irregular love, My Tom. --- If I were a me, A me, Me with big teeth and red sweater and Hair the color of thousand island dressing A feminist, a rhubarb Would you be happy? You could bite into my fuzzy neck And the juice would run down to my sweater but Would you sit down with me With the silence so big it’s a weight That when I stand up There’s a rush of downward stickiness As I want to melt, with you My darling, my two timing truffle My bitter melon My Tom.
