thick skin, hard to peel
sweet and juicy underneath
am I an orange?

I’m currently in research mode, so the book on my desk is Raymond Arsenault’s St. Petersburg and the Florida Dream. Following Linda’s directions, I closed my eyes, flipped it open, and pointed. I landed on the description of a photo from circa 1917: “transporting crates of oranges.” Thus, this deeply probing look at my interior life 😉
Plus consider this, my Wear Orange for Gun Safety contribution.
You are an orange. Nothing rhymes with you. You are an individual. You can be bumpy outside and soft and juicy and fun and surprising inside.

Is the wear orange to prevent gun violence supposed to be reminiscent of hunting vests and things like that?

Yes. It dates back to at least 2013 when students in Chicago organized a protest. They picked orange because it’s the color hunters wear to protect themselves from other hunters. It’s a color that demands to be seen.
