Read the following poem carefully:                                                                       

When I went out I stole an orange

I kept it in my pocket

It felt like a warm planet

Everywhere I went smelt of oranges

Whenever I got into  an awkward situation

 I would take the orange out and smell  it

 And immediately on even dead branches, I saw

The lovely and fierce orange blossom

That smells so much of joy

When I went out I stole an orange

It was  a safeguard against imagining

There was nothing bright or special in the world.
