Oranges
I begrudgingly ate an orange today
it was disgusting
I hate oranges
I hate the texture
that thin membrane
like an organic condom
holding the fluid in
as my teeth tore through each
segment’s sack
I felt the sickening pop
and the vile liquid seed
filled my mouth
it was disgusting
I hate oranges
I thankfully swallowed its juices
and felt violated
as the sweet nectar slid down my throat
