NOT LEMONADE


    Not all lemons


    need to be pressed,


    squeezed, made up


    like a sugary bride.


    Not all lemons


    Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    are sour, but all


    hang with tang


    and life,


    beaming like ripe suns


    just waiting to fall.


    Not an oppressor


    or conquerer,


    just another thing


    tucked into the tree,


    keeping the blossoms


    sweet company.
