There was a small dark rock
little more than a pebble really
who wanted
more than anything
to be a pickle
to have that green skin
all shined up and covered with bumps
this rock pined
with the thought of it
but knew
if it could only
find its way
into someone’s mouth
that it could be sucked smooth
maybe to a soft ruby glow
or at least
to a hard
dry yellow
and that
would be
something
