Charles Simic, one of my favorite poets, was just named the new American Poet Laureate. Congrats to him.
Now, for your reading pleasure, one of my favorite short poems by him:
Watermelons by Charles Simic
Green Buddhas
On the fruit stand.
We eat the smile
And spit out the teeth.
On the fruit stand.
We eat the smile
And spit out the teeth.
