Little Tangy Treat

combing the sides of the park

for those beautiful tangy little fruits

that burst open a little when you pick them

leaving juice on your fingers

their drupelets plump, full

sun shining on them

so many, so many you pass

not quite grown

not quite ripe

their color faded

some of them, just

out of your reach

so you keep looking

for a little tangy treat
