THE BITE

It seems unfair to find out it’s only

after we bite into the fruit that we

discover it’s rotten - it’s ugly inside.

There are hints - but not always -

“Knock on the watermelon and if

you hear a good  thump, it’s good.”

But that banana, that apple, sometimes

it’s a disaster inside, so get a knife, cut

the bad and then make apple or banana pie.

So sometimes disasters, divorces, happen.

And maybe come this fall, the Catholic 

Church will bite into all of this and we’ll 

all eat humble pie for the good of all.
