My ears ring
let the word sing
as I hear
“Panda Express”

It’s life
It’s orange chicken

The world is free
And so is the
fried auburn hen

It’s life
It’s orange chicken

The sizzle of the grill
creates a crunchy
citrus nugget

It’s life
It’s orange chicken

The bites I take
will start to make me
weak, inspired,  forgotten


It’s life
It’s orange chicken


The feast that I have acquired
Burns in my arteries,
like fire
as I sit there in pain,
the name in bane

It’s life.

It’s orange chicken.
