RANDOM HANDSHAKES - ALI H. RADDAOUI

To William Carlos Williams

I ate them
The apples which I had put away
In my travel bag
The night before.
Soothe to say
Both were sweet
Though one sweeter than the other
The other still sweet
With an aftertaste of je ne sais quoi
That lingers
And gnaws into my taste buds
Long after the journey is done.
