One
Orange..
Ah, orange!
The boldest of the colors.
Two
Sadly,
One does not know
what rhymes with orange.
Three
Door hinge?
Four
The skin of an orange
laying on the table.
The skinned fruit
laying nearby.
Five
The lonely peel
looks on
as its brother is
devoured.
Six
Lost and confused.
Lonely orange peel.
Your fate was sealed.
Seven
You scream
(not that anyone hears you, of course)
as the human grabs you
gently in their palm.
Eight
You hear the
receptacle
before you
see it.
Nine
You can only stare up
At the alien face glaring
Down at you.
Ten
The hand
Slides
Out
From
Underneath you.
Eleven
You wish you had hands,
so you could reach out
and save yourself.
Twelve
With a soft pat
You land
On old
Paper towels
Soaked with apple juice
Thirteen
You are a lonely
Orange peel
Laying at the bottom
Of a trash can.
Lonely…
