Why orange? Insidiously unrhymable Even OJ reeks of death and depravity Unpeeled a bite like my mother’s favorite cocktail rinded and bitter Peeled sweet and seeded Give me apples peaches grapes or leeches Orange the new pariah.
The orange bark of the Christmas tree trunk. An innocent opossums orange nose sharing an omen. Fruit in a bag care package, including an orange. Put away the overnight bag an pull the emergency switch. The opossum warns "Don't become road kill, like my uncle." So I fade to Orange, the new black.
