Mother always said the farm was special
And she swore by the soil til she slept beneath it
I always gave her a shrug
But ten years later I'd come to believe it
I cored an apple into sections I sliced
Out every little bitty kernal
They swam around in the juice
Green glowing flies infernal
Don't eat the seeds!
I rang up the press
The last batch it bleeds
Uranium in excess
Don't eat the seeds!
Miracle mess
Flaw in the trees
Town in distress
Strawberry seeds all studded with crystals
All the orange gut stones like little lead weights
Plum pits like limestone chunks
And metal shards showed up in dates
The city jeweler couldn't say what it was
Like nothing that he'd ever seen with his monocle
They were unknown minerals
"New Elements!" read the chronicles
Don't eat the seeds!
Miracle mess
Flaw in the trees
Town in distress
