Frozen Orange Juice
They are getting rid
of frozen
orange juice cartons
and pennies
& I don’t see clowns
much anymore
At my age things start
to move pretty fast
Like a freight train
Like a jet plane
like a divisive
celebrity opinion
I don’t want to go
backwards
I don’t want to go
Forwards
I do want some
frozen orange juice
Made with tap water
poured from a big
plastic jug
served by a clown
with a big red nose
