I took a bite out of an orange rind
but I couldn't quite break the skin
and the acid dripped slowy out
from the teeth marks I had bit in
and the zest hit my mouth
like the thorny edge of the sea
bites down hard and cold
against your bare legs and kness
I knocked hard on your door
and you let me right in
we slipped on the yogurt poured
all over your walls and floors
why was there dairy there?
we weren't really sure
but we slid all over your house
on those slippery curds
Now we are down by the lake again
skating across on the cellophane
we were walking all across
and running back again
our shirts are getting soaked
and the sun is getting wet
put back on your overcoat
the world, we are splashing it
