missing orange

i have a classic habit of saving the best for last.

the last bite on my plate, is the bite i choose to linger in my mouth.

the bite that (i think) celebrates the food

how (i think) it is best remembered by.


and i do it naturally.


like last sunday.

went to prahran market and bought a little bunch of orange.

at home, by nature, i selected the plumpest and juiciest orange

and separated it from the bunch.

put it on the kitchen counter, to eat later.

to eat last.


after some commotions of weekend cleaning,

(that i was so into of),

that particular orange dissappeared.

i didnt sweat about it. it was just an orange.


but strangely enough, i couldnt stop looking for it.

during the ads on the tv show i was watching,

i looked under the couch.

while making tea and washing the dishes,

i crawled and peeked under the fridge.


ive been looking for my orange all day long.

ive looked everywhere. and ive looked again.


now im scared. i feel consumed. by an orange.


WHERE IS THE ORANGE?
