Apples

Watching the shied core
Striking the basket, skidding across the floor
Shows less and less of luck, and more and more

Of failure spreading back up the arm
Earlier and earlier, the unraised hand calm,
The apple unbitten in the palm.

- As Bad as a Mile from The Whitsun Weddings by Philip Larkin






I firmly believe that an apple a day keeps the doctor away, and that apple picking adventures could cure almost anything.
