fuzzy

and then he remembered her
and the good times
and the memory was fuzzy on the outside, like in the movies
where he could focus on her and her alone, and everything else was a blur

pitting a cherry

have you every dissected a black cherry with your bare hands?
have you reached inside for the fruit within the fruit? grasping for the shell.
it's a messy process.
the dark crimson streaks across your hands, and an onlooker would suspect you had just butchered a mini person.

pitted cherries, then - in cocktails, in marschino cherry jars - how is it done?
no more cherries in my smoothies..

too difficult.
