I quite enjoyed fulfilling (half) the tasks for this prompt. Look forward to editing it [wrestling a fraction more sense from it] post marathon.

swish

the world is an orange
it can be eaten in just three bites
acidic nose bitter tasting waxy
skinned squelching overripe bright orange
the acid bright on my tongue
the waxy squelching in my ear
the bitterness burning my eyes
but despite his best efforts Ryan
is never going to arrive in Arden
it’s all too big to be consumed
besides no one’s left to play basketball
whether you’re a buzzer-beater
double-dribbler or alley-oopper
it matter’s not cos the world’s ending
the bugs have three in the key
they’re putting on a clinic
not a cloud left in the sky to make it rain
& we’re just gonna fadeaway
chomp chomp chomp
juice gets in our eyes & we cry
