grapefruit at the keyboard

It’s not a good idea, is it? Tearing into the globe of grapefruit, breaking the membranes, sending sparkles of juice shooting off over the keys. I rip into the tart pink flesh with my teeth, scraping off the juicy bits. I eat some of the white pith for the bioflavinoids, but I have to pull off most of it, the most bitter parts that I don’t want to eat.
