i've never had a korean melon

when i go to the grocery store, i tend to pick random fruits and vegetables i've never had just to try them. i saw one last week that i'd never tried before. the closest sign to it was 'korean melon'. i decided to give it a shot. when i brought it up to the cashier, she asked what it was and i replied 'korean melon'. i then took it home and started the usual routine of googling/youtubing it to see what people do with it. all pictures/videos that came up showed a round-ish yellow fruit; whereas this was a long green smooth oval. 'deformed and unripe?' i thought. i let it sit for a week till it finally started to get some black spots. no, i guess this won't ripen any further. might as well make the best of it. i began to slice it open and my knife got stuck quarter of the way through. tried from the other side, then finally pulled it open to find that it's... a giant avocado! i still have never had a korean melon.

You'll find out when you're older you say

knowing full well they have no way
of ever remembering the question later
it's not like they're writing it down in a book
called "questions to ask when i am older"
dunno if i ever got all the answers
their gravestone will say...

if self-driving vehicles overtake the future

there will be no more speeding.
where will speed trap towns
get their regular revenue?
