My first poem in a while, and hopefully to Comrade’s enjoyment – it’s titled “Irony”.

Irony

I suppose my life is doomed to that kind of irony
Irony that something could be so easily forgotten
As if it could be so easily forgotten
And as it was, so easily forgotten
And as it was, so easily remembered.

Typed or real, if the difference mattered
I most likely would have felt it
But looking back, nothing but the ravenous dogs
Stand indifferent, indifferent to the choice that was made.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that movie.
But I think I’m indifferent enough not to mind.
And it’s almost funny – that looking back,
As if it could be so easily forgotten
Forgotten for two hours,
And as it was, so easily forgotten
And as it was, so easily remembered.

So, what could you possibly do to celebrate the Lunar New Year? With fireworks and moneybags, perhaps? Heck no! Maybe in the online community fireworks are nifty, and killing a giant two-headed demon K-9 with fifty other players running around at the same time may be fun, but something you didn’t expect: How about some… oranges?

Now, my family doesn’t really celebrate the lunar new year, but the celebration (which is being “celebrated” by me in World of Warcraft simply because MMO’s love to make a big event out of it) happened to take place on the same day that my aunt happened to send us a happy little box of oranges. But these aren’t any normal oranges – in fact, I don’t even think they’re oranges at all. The box claims that they are a hybrid between a tangerine and a grapefruit, but they’re incredibly sweet. What are they? They’re Cushman Honeybells, and I can’t get enough of them. Happy lunar new year.

Order yourself a box: They’re inredibly juicy and by far the sweetest “orange” you’ve ever tasted, with the most peculiar shape to them. And if you want to take my word, you’d better do it fast, since by middle of February they go out of season (yep, they’re only around for four weeks!).

Oh, but but don’t get me wrong, the fireworks are very pretty with my 7800GTX. ;)
