Today's poem is based on this headline about how eating grapefruit may ease lung disease conditions.

Awake

Like a splash of grapefruit before 5:00 a.m.,

You make me pucker in a way

I don't recall

Anything

Ever doing before. 

I'm on to you,

Though I know you're good,

You make me question 

why I'm out of bed,

Enjoying you with a serving of 

toasted bread instead

Of peaceful slumber

That is easier on the mind 

And mouth,

But no where near as refreshing.
