Pink Grapefruit Poem by Noemi Lee

Pink Grapefruit

Rating: 5.0


So you wonder-
what exactly does the
'pink'
do?

Is it extra sweetner?
A change in texture?
Flavor enhacer perhaps?

You can't wait to have
its flavors dance upon
your tongue

And when they do
you realize that
'Pink'
refers to color only

It's still grapefruit

It's still bitter

Unfortunately,
a change in name
does not transform
anything.
