apple

i am an apple
at the top of the tree
which gentlemen
dare not climb
afraid of falling
down to the ground

they just wait
til other apples
fall dead below
rotten and straw
or if not
they just reach
for other apples
at the lower branches
to be with them
much easier than me

but there will come
a time of the day
when the perfect one
would come along
and would choose to risk
his life and safety
and take time
to climb the tree
to reach for me
