What is the poem about oranges by Gary Soto?

Gary Soto did not write a poem specifically about oranges. He wrote a poem called "Oranges" which is about a boy taking his girlfriend to the movies and buying her an orange, but it is not about oranges themselves. The poem is more about a young boy's attempts to impress a girl and his anxieties about being awkward and inadequate.

Here's a part of the poem:

> I peeled the orange

> and gave her a segment.

> "It's good," she said,

> "but it's too cold."

If you're interested in reading the poem, you can find it online or in anthologies of Soto's work.
