It is the real srtist who invites us to see the world in a new way. To
take the common-ness of plums and help us see the full-ness of life in that
mundane act of a poor old woman relishing the moment--enjoying the
basic-sweetness of her plums; this is the enjoyment of life made plain in
the simple things around us.

It's a poem about plums, yes. But also about being here now, about the
ways that we can be transported out of feelings of pain and anxiety if we
can give ourselves over fully to life's small pleasures. So yes it's about
plums (perfect, round, the promised momentary perfection of the world), and
love, and poetry, and being here in the now-ness of life.
