Citrus

I like how my hair
smells of oranges after
a 6 pm shower
How my legs are accessorized
with tiny uneven hairs when i
wear my sandals
the black vegan-leather ones
I even like the little spots
on my back,
handcrafted for their canvas
I love the way silver rings
sit delicate on lanky fingers
the way my legs look when I look
down
The legs that look like
your own face photoshopped onto
“Flat Stanley: His Original Adventure!”
and airdropped to you by the boys at
the restaurant
Unpeel an extra orange for lunch
tomorrow
the smell stains my fingers
