he knows that when life gives you lemons you make lemonade

but what if, he wonders

what if life was the lemon?

if everything went so sour

if no amount of sugar would sweeten the boat he was so unceremoniously dumped in

he wonders why he didn't see when his tree had stopped growing apples in favor of bitter citrus

he wonders if it will ever go back

he wonders if he wants it to
because hey, when life is a lemon, juice it and let capitalism take the wheel
