His ButlerA Poem by Lexyfrom the perspective of the apple's face
I wonder how the butler felt
when he saw his face as an apple. the bowler hat does not fit- but he made it fit. For him. And then his face became... an apple. Maybe that's what he got for loving a surrealist. But better a surrealist than an idealist who never confronts reality. Whose dreams are brighter than the ones by those who know what life doesn't hesitate to give. "This doesn't actually happen." I wonder if he regretted it. I wonder if he wished he hadn't stood there. I wonder if he cut off all ties; maybe he didn't like apples or bowler hats or blue skies. I wonder if he knew that he would one day become famous, though no one would know his face or his name or why.
