An Amplification of Reality

Eating sweet oranges
I hear an ambulance pass
Somehow my priorities change
The orange
Bright and juicy
Seems to become more than it is
A microcosm of complexity
                                      Life and loss
I eat
and I am satiated
But the satisfaction is fleeting
And I find myself pondering
                             Wondering
If the value of the orange
Would grow
If I were the one in the ambulance
