St. Augustine
(Wrought Up About Pears)

CEE

How saintly, ain’t it, to confess
To stealing a pear from a pear tree
(as opposed to a deck of smokes?)
All wrought up, about pears...
I don’t know what to say to that
I’ll say this to that,
I went grocery shopping with Dad, one time
We hit the produce section, right away
‘Cause God knows, it should be near the door
To catch fresh air from the parking lot,
I grabbed some bananas and a couple apples
Began to sack some pears
And Dad asks,
As though I’d picked up chocolate-covered ants
Or confessed to being a nudist
Or known way too many quotes from
Das Kapital,
He asks,
“Y’eat PEARS?!”
If you’d known him, you’d know he was just
Making conversation
I knew he was just making conversation
And I know also, as well, too, that pears are
Verminous, fatty, perverted Commies
