​
Yoko loves her some grapefruit—a hybrid of pomelo and orange. She found a kinship in it, a thing born of two sources, a woman between two worlds, East and West, a concoction of color and taste. 
 
I often feel this way. Between two worlds. Here and not here. Drawn and not drawn. Sweet and tart. A thing born to be adorned with a Maraschino Cherry.
