the word plum

i think this poem would work great as a slam poetry in mpiece. they way it is written with some words in italics already hints at how different words should be spoken outloud. this poem is tight because the words seem to express what goes on in a person's mind and mouth when they bite into a plum. when i read this poem, in mind i see a person's mouth in profile, their teeth pushing into a purple fruit. i like how the words chosen for this piece are abstract, yet they describe the action of eating a plum perfectly.
