The sweetest fruit
Lodged up there between the back few molars, somewhere around the ice-sensitive teeth, is a grape skin. Stuck there since you sat down. Burrowed between your gum and tooth. No man's land. A strained tongue pulls at it fruitlessly. Stop lights turn red, radio stations air advertisements you don't hear. Only listening to the scraping of a thumb nail in the back of your mouth. Then, lifetimes later, a right turn, perhaps at high speed. You straighten the wheel, shift gears, and relax. The sweetest meal swallows down to your stomach. The tiny little grapeskin works a smile.
