Orange



















Knock. Knock.
Who’s there?
Orange.
Orange, who?
Orange colored sherbert
On a hot summer day.
Orange colored push-ups
Easing the heat away.
Cold sticky sunshine
Bought for a song
Trickles down fingers
Into a palm.
Orange puddle bread crumbs
Fall to the street
Melting little by little
On clothing and feet.
Knock. Knock.
Who’s there?
Orange.
Orange you glad its summer?
