An Ode to Chocolate

An Ode to Chocolate 

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Nay, for the sun thou cannot suffer well,
Where sweltering heat makes thee melt away,
And all too soon, thou art merely sweet smell.

Dark brown chocolate, bitter and so sweet,
Thou melt away slowly upon my tongue,
Wonderful chocolate, best thing to eat,
Thine taste is better than many songs sung.

I would give so much to always have thee,
O sweet chocolate brown and delicious,
Why thou art not more loved, I cannot see,
Thou art finest of the innutritious.

Chocolate, chocolate, thou art the best,
Of singing thine praises, I shall not rest.

    The faceless ones are chittering in their fancy suits
    As they sip sparkling wine—don’t they know that dulls their wits?
    My throat is burning, vocal cords worn from the constant calling

  • Scream

    One day, when the itching-crawling was
    Too much to bear, I stood at the bottom
    Of my driveway, tilted back my head
    And screamed up at the clear blue sky —
    There was no thunder. I did not call
    A rainstorm. The sky remained clear.

    I know it's still right
    But either for three things hurts
    Butchers implied rules.

    Meat to hands to utensils
    To pasta to me.
