Egocentrism

                Wild apples grow all over our property. They are terrible, inedible, I told someone the other day.
            Our dogs start foraging apples in September. They’re still digging them up through the snow in January. Deer gather under the trees to feast, leaving their two-toed tracks and their scat. Skunks, raccoons, birds, beetles, slugs, flies, worms – all eaters of the apples.
            Are they any good? Nah, I say. Inedible.
