Apples like Ninjas

Written After Seeing Shon’s Overproductive Lemon Trees

Green and dapple,
apples, like ninjas,
sneak out the branches
when no one is looking.

Oranges announce
in green thick shouts
that they are coming
for juicing and joining.

Lemons don’t care.
Don’t even notice. 
Known too many Spaniards 
to not be bitter. 

But limes,
ahh limes.
They dance in 
winking in margarita.
