A Single Slice Reveals Them
By Naomi Shihab Nye
An apple on the table
hides its seeds
so neatly
under seamless skin
but we talk and talk and talk
to let somebody
in.
The poem talks about people that keep their emotions in and don't want to show them but get talked in to sharing them. It relates to the book A Long Way Gone because Ishmael does not want to share what is inside of him but maybe eventually he will be talked in to sharing them and will realize that he's not a bad kid.
