I peel them off with my other fingernails. you might ask, how do I remove the last fingernail, when no others are left? Well, its' quite simple really: I alternate between tearing off one and the other. When the second to last is gone, the last can be removed with relative ease using only the fingers. Very simple

Err. Okay.

Grapes (seedless green ones) are awesome while reading. They're delicious and the only thing you need to do to them prior to eating is wash them. Can't really think up any cons. Maybe that you have to pluck them off the vines? That's not really a con since you don't even have to divert your attention from the page for it.

>> No.1621919

~pineapple~

- Pros: BAM! itsa pineapple bitches!!, lots to eat --> spend a whole day gnawing at the pineapple and reading, get creative with the skin (hat?)
- Cons: how does this even work??, its huge, need a big ass knife --> dangerous when reading noir or angsty stuff, every bite tastes the same its all just pineapple youll get bored before finishing

~honeydew melon~

~grapes (seedless edition)~

- Pros: easy as hell, tasty, nice feeling when you pluck them off the stick (like popping zits or cutting umbilicalcord), they burst between your mollars

~lychee~

- Pros: bad-ass it looks like it will fight you, spacey taste, you can squeeze it in your hand and the spines will sting a little and it feels nice, the seed is nice to hold in your mouth and to touch with your tongue
- Cons: ugh peeling hell, very juicy --> bookspots danger, kinda small, you will eventually bite the seed and it will taste like vomit

The only legend I have ever loved is
the story of a daughter lost in hell.
And found and rescued there.
Love and blackmail are the gist of it.
Ceres and Persephone the names.
And the best thing about the legend is
I can enter it anywhere.And have.
As a child in exile in
a city of fogs and strange consonants,
I read it first and at first I was
an exiled child in the crackling dusk of
the underworld, the stars blighted.Later
I walked out in a summer twilight
searching for my daughter at bed-time.
When she came running I was ready
to make any bargain to keep her.
I carried her back past whitebeams
and wasps and honey-scented buddleias.
But I was Ceres then and I knew
winter was in store for every leaf
on every tree on that road.
Was inescapable for each one we passed.
And for me.
It is winter
and the stars are hidden.
I climb the stairs and stand where I can see
my child asleep beside her teen magazines,
her can of Coke, her plate of uncut fruit.
The pomegranate!How did I forget it?
She could have come home and been safe
and ended the story and all
our heart-broken searching but she reached
out a hand and plucked a pomegranate.
She put out her hand and pulled down
the French sound for apple and
the noise of stone and the proof
that even in the place of death,
at the heart of legend, in the midst
of rocks full of unshed tears
ready to be diamonds by the time
the story was told, a child can be
hungry.I could warn her.There is still a chance.
The rain is cold.The road is flint-coloured.
The suburb has cars and cable television.
The veiled stars are above ground.
It is another world.But what else
can a mother give her daughter but such
beautiful rifts in time?
If I defer the grief I will diminish the gift.
The legend will be hers as well as mine.
She will enter it.As I have.
She will wake up.She will hold
the papery flushed skin in her hand.
And to her lips.I will say nothing.
