Sweet & Low

Marshmallow, daft eyes the accumulation

of sugary release is not the right recipe

for sweet dreams - though it mixes excellent

with the toss and turns of “Why isn’t it morning?”

Puffy, pillowed lids accentuate sugar cubes

round in shape that melts effortlessly

into brewing thoughts - a cup full of bitter and

bold with a tad bit of “How is it already morning?”

Taffy-pulled lashes elongate the afternoon

by hyper-chewing to slowly absorb the

salty daydreams - a cellophane lunch

of nitty-gritty wonder “When will evening roll in?”

Sticky, bland lids the carrageenin

rubber band effect of timely sugary release

opens another night - a bubble blown up by

pacing to and fro with “How is it already bedtime?”
