Try to draw an apple,
get a pear.
Try to draw a pear;
get an apple.
I’ve tried it backways too;
drew a pear
in the hope of getting an apple:
got a quince.
If outer appearance
so defies,
what chance have I
of flavor and flesh?
Will I ever be able to draw
an apple apple,
a pear pear;
get flesh and flavor
as apple and pear really are?
