Yum! Next time you’re…in the mood… for something extra-special good….

Thin-skinned It is frightening
Try some raspberry-orange sherbet sun
To be among so many,
served upon a shimmering plateau
Yet be
of mango-apricot twilight sky,
So alone.
topped by mounds of whipped-cream clouds
I am saved
floating high.
From nothing
Ah! Such a sweet! Delicious treat!
Thin-skinned
An all-you-can-eat celestial feast!
I feel your pain
Simply Divine! Pure Heaven!
It chases me
Yum!
Down these hard, mean streets I feel your fear
There’s always plenty for everyone.
Follow me around sharp corners
Help yourself.
So still, Don’t let it melt.
You sit on the stony bench I pass by
Remember…be polite, and thank the Chef.

Quickly, you look away Quickly, I walk away Hearing your silent screams.
