Life Would Be Better Orange.
life would be better orange.
like the fruit,
the colour.
sweet and sour.
even when bitter, at least theres a taste.
waxy, bubbled exterior.
protected.
soft, juicy insides.
healthy.
alive with a purpose.
bright, clean, promising.
featured in cleaning supplies, aisle 47.
the new scent of hygiene.
nostalgia,
the south where they grow.
sunshine, surrounded by green leaves,
blue skies.
nurtured.
harvested.
but even oranges have a darkside.
rotting, sour.
discarded in wooden crates
with plastic shreds that offer little comfort.
bruised and broken.
open for germs to manifest inside.
life would be better orange,
so long as i were elite.
