I ate plums that were
soon to be prunes.
They were cool.
I was moved by them.
They were good
(I had them for breakfast)
So, so sweet! Sorry,
but they were delicious!

William Carlos Williams’ “This Is Just To Say”
This Is Just To Say
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
