“And that orange, it made me so happy, as ordinary things often do” – The Orange, Wendy Cope
A boy and his mother go to pick blackberries.
He brings a plastic tupperware to collect them.
She tells him to try and reach for the highest ones
and he clambers onto her shoulders, stretching out.
The tupperware is still empty when they get home.
The boy and his mother are full, their tongues purple.
