 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Ideal Day\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

smells of orange peels<\/p>\n

past their prime<\/p>\n

desiccated in sun\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

cheers cascade down<\/p>\n

like waterfalls<\/p>\n

and I can\u2019t get enough\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t usually pinch myself<\/p>\n

but this warrants the pain<\/p>\n

born of pleasure\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

to finally scream goodbye<\/p>\n

to the worst side of ourselves<\/p>\n

manifest as Agent Orange\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reality TV once featured a peacock<\/p>\n

strutting and fanning his wings<\/p>\n

to the adoration of less and less\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Until crooked politics<\/p>\n

and internet circumvent<\/p>\n

couldn\u2019t keep him on our screens\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

they say smell has the strongest memory<\/p>\n

and his septic tank of vision<\/p>\n

will fade like a sunset bright from pollution\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

and I will bite into a crisp Gala apple<\/p>\n

to cherish the taste<\/p>\n

of something sweet\u2026<\/p>\n
