Peel the apple
Rotten core
Stinks of all that’ve
Taken a bite
A slice
Of life
Smells like shit
And grits my teeth
Stains like some
Hospitalized
Born inside
Is every child
Writhing down
And out into
What thought it was a boy
Kicked it off a mountain
Better off dead
But there’s more
Always pulling more
Inevitably biting more
From the core
Of what used to be considered
Eden’s fruit
Rotten core
Stinks of all that’ve
Taken a bite
A slice
Of life
Smells like shit
And grits my teeth
Stains like some
Hospitalized
Born inside
Is every child
Writhing down
And out into
What thought it was a boy
Kicked it off a mountain
Better off dead
But there’s more
Always pulling more
Inevitably biting more
From the core
Of what used to be considered
Eden’s fruit
