This morning they're harvesting the oranges from the campus orange trees, yanking them down with these long hoes.
There's no smell more panic-inducing to me than the smell of a peeling orange. I don't know why this is. But today, walking by, even in the cold air, I could smell them: sharp, sour, and morbid.
Oh my God, Charles. You would have died growing up in Florida!
ReplyDeleteHave you read "Five Quarters of the Orange"? Yikes!
ReplyDeleteWhy the hell is that, Charles? That orange peeling, smelling phobia thing. Damn! We’re not bi-polar. We're bi-peeling!

Like the coating your hand gets for peeling them and then an hour later, you bring your hand close to your nose and want to gag.
