This slice of sunshine
Perfectly depicts
My favorite breakfast.

Peel
Infants gently curled, nesting
sarm inside their cocoons
Pressed up against one another
soft, shelless, boneless
Irritated by the sharp, hard spheres
that share their space
There’s no air, no space in between
Where one isn’t, there is another
until their binding comes loose
and they unfurl, still joined
but slowly stretching away
Like or Dislike:

the small and simple seed to grow
into a great and nourishing source
encased in a juicy cushion

Orange has a very
diversified portfolio,
its assets including a juice,
a fruit, a city, a county, a revolution,
a Bowl, and color — strangely,
often in conjunction with brown —
that only young redheaded boys
seem to really like.

Sensuous segments
Greedy fingers dig in hard
There’s juice in your eye
