Mind Meld 

           for John Bennett

In an accidental mind
meld with John Bennett,
he sends me an apple
disguised (cleverly) as a tomato.
It floats in front of Meg Ryan,
playing an alcoholic, 
while Andy Garcia tries hard 
to save her.
I take a bite, lose
my innocence, of course,
paste on three fig leaves.
Shards parachute into Eden.
John's not trying to save me.
He just wants me to dance.
