ugly fruit

i want to live in a place with ugly fruit
not the pretty stuff everyone likes but no one enjoys
where oranges are just a little green
and the potatoes still have dirt

i want to live in a place where some roads stay unpaved
and you can walk for miles without meeting a soul
where on a bad day you can find a path to follow
and the pine trees come alive in the wind

i want to live in a place where the water is shared
by fish and seaweed and urchins
where i can scream into the sea with abandon
and remember that i am but a drop in this beautiful world

I want to live.
