in a world without suffering

Genre: Poetry
Word Count: 19

in a world without suffering
I saw a girl smashing her fingers in a door
while eating pineapple compote


A/N: Pineapple compote is a reference to Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov. Reading the book is not necessary to understanding the poem, it just pays tribute to the inspiration.
