The Seed And The Fruit

sometimes the seed
wonders
after it has seen its fruit
if the same
has come from it

sometimes the fruit
is more luscious
sweet and
crunchy,
well loved and
sought, and
expensively priced

than what the seed
has expected

for all we know,
mortals as we
nature also makes
the surprises
of its genes.
