Spent too much time

Maneuvering to

Squeeze in

to rest in a mold

Un tailored

Harsh structure

Manufactured

To crush and extract

The resident’s juice

To serve another’s

Temporary thirst

Left dry from the grind

Once whole

discarded into

Halves, portions

The shell that enclosed

Ravaged to the core

Sliced exterior

Drained which would rot

The rind left to seed

a tree often sought,

whose produce feeds

Eternally, never naught.
