You keep turning it over and over trying to find an expiration date
like it will say best if used by 5 22 2011 in black italicized numbers if you look hard enough
You kind of have that feeling that it's supposed to go bad inevitably so you won't be surprised when it does.
Maybe it's like a fruit. You've had fruit before and it felt ripe and ready to eat but you wanted to hold on a little longer because you weren't sure so you turned your head away for a moment
but by the time you came back it had gone bad already.
Then there was the time you bit in too early and it was sour and hard and it was a waste of something that could have been.

I really do enjoy this metaphor.. witty, neat, smart and so emotional.. thanks!
