moment in time

at the celebration friday night.

i’m on the dance floor and a friend approaches to hug me. i put my nose near her neck and think how orangy she smells.

we pull apart and she says to me, “you smell like oranges!”

i’m confused, “no, i don’t. i thought you smelled like oranges.”

we both glance to my right her left and see a man peeling an orange at our elbows! he must have broken the skin just as we hugged.

    One of my good friends from college used to smell like oranges. She also wore a lot of orange.
