Worm
To avoid
overlapping summer heat
into the mosquito net
gathered together
as soon as sit down
pieces of peach
comes in
with a white plate
Each other
put in the mouth
talk what happened today
Suddenly
"No?
is a bug".
"hey!
peach eaten by the worm
more delicious
is good
there is a little pesticides".
From the side
the sound of a mosquito
someone whispers
"The same for people".

OK, I'm obsessed with this poem.
I can't come to a complete reckoning with it.
Is the worm a sensual euphemism, that indicates what has been possessed by something earthy is pure? If so, that is beautifully done, sexy and complex.
Or is the worm social commentary, that people are poisoned, and only that with maintains natural connection are sweet? If so, that is incredibly clever, and quite biting.
Either way... I'm OBSESSED with this. It's brilliant either way.

Thank you for your amazing interpretation. I wrote a poem about an experience that made me think that a less pristine natural state is more beneficial than a perfectly clean culture. thank you so much.
