life gave me all of its lemons some more bitter than the rest yet somehow i forgot how to make lemonade and invited an unwelcome guest they sit at my table well-dressed, grab a lemon and pick at the zest until they reach the core and lose their appetite at the acidity they try to ingest then i served my lemons compressed added sugar afloat at the crest they sipped on the liquid then got to the bottom and expressed their aching distress now we plant orange trees to contest all the yellow lemons that possessed my citrus Eden with fruits and flowers and now sweeter juices to digest
