nectarines

life's handing me nectarines ...
actually more like throwing them at me
nectarines
you know...
the fruit close to a peach
but without the fuzz
but with extra layers
thus...
i'm being hit with these
hard, rough, thick masses
and its like
first, ow?!
and second, metaphorically
what do i do with this...
make nectarine-juice?
nect-ade?

these hardships, battles,
falls and failures
obstacles and burdens
hidden by friendliness
only to ease the worry...
the choice only
to accept the such(ness) for truth...
taking the nectarines
and making the best of them...
