The poem opens up with the sense of a lost love. At first glance‚ the structure appears to be regular with six stanzas‚ each stanza consisting of four lines. However‚ on closer reading the structure seemed a bit unique as the first letter in every line is capitalized. This makes each line significant and becomes worthy of greater attention‚ so that the audience could understand each line clearly. One of the main stylistic aspect that is used by the poet is the rhyme scheme. Throughout the poem the

never thought that the story would be what it turned out to be. I would think at first it would involve some sort of worker or child in South America that works by handling Oranges in some sort of way. In my own words and thought‚ I would summarize the poem about a boy nervous about his first time with a girl. So they walk to a drugstore so he can’t treat her with something from there.
