of forgotten cores and hearts

A poem
i live in this large world of expansive green, grey and brown.
fruits litter my path and i lean down,
bending at the waist to bob for them headfirst.
i suck them sweet and dry to the seed,
pelleting them out by the teeth.
i continue my jaunt, sometimes stroll,
sometimes sprint
against none other.
i come upon rocks
and place the minerals under my tongue,
where they spur the onset
of thirst-quelling properties and relief.
i survive.
i spit them out
and they land along the side
of forgotten cores and hearts.
