Analysis of The Apple in My Hand
The apple in my hand is rotting
It’s decay like perfume
Your apple is alive
Teeming with life
Oh, how I wish I had your apple!
To get rid of my tainted fruit
And exchange for your wondrous crop
Would surely be a marvel
My apple is rotting
Yours is alive
You pity mine
And I yearn yours
