The Pod.

Where yesterday there was a plain brown seed pod, now flaming red seeds protrude from every orifice. I picked up the pod on my walk a few days ago, completely unaware of the budding fertility lying within. Now scarlet ovules erupt out of their tiny wombs like impertinent tongues impatiently seeking their first tastes of ecstasy. They pulsate with the hormones of a budding teenager, eager to be on their way, and to be on their own, in the great big world. Their naked display of desire is at once vulgar and titillating.
