in my tray

I have a packet of olives

I hate olives now, again.

bite the pit like the strain

I hope the turbulence knocks them to the floor

I want it to.

just not by my hand,

because that wouldn't be reason enough.

i don't think i'd want to be in that tray. sounds like the author wants someone else to do the "dirty work" that he can't bring himself to do, even questioning if it's right or wrong to do it and seemingly torn between the two. indecision. to each his own. real, clever and well written.
