A Pome a Day for a Year

Someone drew a face on an eraser,
it has stubble.
Rubber cannot grow stubble.
Look, if you are going to give an eraser
some kind of anatomical mirroring,
at least make it plausible.

I guess you could say
“Well, rubber also cannot grow eyes,
or have an olfactory system.”

And yes, yes. This is correct,
and it feels weird to get hung up
on the five o clock shadow,
that has been perfectly drawn as a goatee.

Maybe it is an evil eraser
from a dimension where erasers
are concious and grow beards
to signify their evility.

I wonder if they call murder
erasement?
Or instead of saying goodbye, they say
“Gotta bounce!”
