lyrics

I opened a clementine
Popped the button off the top
Inhaled as the oil diffused through the air to my nostrils

Slowly peeled my clementine
In strips about the width of my thumb
I pulled a delicate pull so as not to disturb the sections

I separated the sections
With care to maintain the integrity of each
One of them snapped at the corner — whatever — I’ll eat it first

Each of the nine remaining is intact
That’s ok, right? I hid the broken one from them
They didn’t see it snap or smash between my teeth
They didn’t see it die; they won’t mind if I lift them each

One by one
To their demise
They don’t have eyes
They don’t have minds
Though I can’t stop wondering if they might
