Fruit Juice

Has our juice been squeezed out of us?

Where did it go?

I notice that more and more people are starting to rot, one by one.

They do not seem to flourish as much.

Instead of being ripe, they are green.

The invisibility of juiciness is sheerly bonkers to me.

And the worst part?

I am also quite unripe.

Most of my juice has been compressed, too.

. . . But I am not rotten yet.

I still have an ounce of it left in me.

I wonder if it is viable to get it back.

Or, mayhaps, fill myself with more of it?

Regeneration might be a possibility, too.

If I don't let anyone squeeze the last bit out of me, will I still be productive?

Could I become ripe someday?

What other options do I have?

. . . If this works, can it happen to others as well?
