Orange Haiku

Orange

I
I always get that
white powdery shit beneath
my nail cuticles

II
The mushroom cloud of
mist kicks me in the nose and
I think of breakfast.

III
Seeds dance on my tongue;
acid laughs at my cracked lips
burning paper cuts.

IV
Why didn’t British
sailors choose these instead of
green bumpy skinned limes?
