A sour explosion as my teeth grind the mandarin wedge between them
Brief moment of disappointment in hopes for something sweet…
With momentary shock, I realize that orange peel had deceived me
My mouth is only searching for its next piece, baited and waiting
I pop in another, the chemicals coursing through my body
Much to my pleasured amazement, I push aside my caffeine
As the tart rhythm moves my body into the rising of the sun.JM2016
