looking for one in a MELON

I fall in love with foods, binge needlessly and then tire of them quickly. It is a pattern. I have eaten enough watermelon this summer that the very notion of it is a little nauseating. I’m off in pursuit of something new, but I’ll make my way back to watermelon by next summer. I’m often that way with galleries as well.
