Melissa's South African Baby Pineapple

I’m actually testing the WordPress iPhone app’s quick photo posting feature. It’s not so straightforward.

Missy, for whatever reason, has declared September 14 to be International Piña Day.

Her given name is Melissa, her nickname for me is “Mi Poquita Piña,” and in an outstanding coincidence she turned up a Melissa’s South African Baby Pineapple. Except I’m not South African, obvs.

“A Poem of Friendship”

Leave a reply

We are not lovers
because of the love
we make
but the love
we have

We are not friends
because of the laughs we spend
but the tears
we save

I don’t want to be near you
for the thoughts we share
but the words we never have
to speak

I will never miss you
because of what we do
but what we are
together

–Nikki Giovanni, Love Poems
