Consider the apple. Original sin. Red seduction that brought Adam down to earth, in more ways than one. Scarlet reflection that brought Newton and gravity to a mutual understanding.
Crimson flavor packaged and sold to us in little cardboard boxes.
Consider the orange. Bright paragon of vitamin C and health. Symbol of purity. Juno’s gift of innocence to Jupiter on the day of their celestial wedding. Tangy freshness processed and powdered for a season that will never end.
Summer glory made ready-to-serve.
Consider the grape. Nectar of the heavens. Seductive undertow of countless mythologies. The apostle’s favored choice. Violet stories in cool summer nights. Promises of bliss, dreams of purple contentment.
Sweet escape in clear crystal glass.
Consider Fruit Loops. Colored rings of cheer raised on artificial flavorings and preservatives. Belligerent custodians of all essential vitamins and minerals. Life seen through the glazed eyes of a perpetual sugar-high. Reflections of past, present and future illuminated in the light of the refrigerator.
Epiphanies in a bowlful of cereal at three in the morning.
