Risky

Life is like the marshmallow in the s’more

First you have to take one out of the bag

Then stab it on a stick

If you do it wrong

The marshmallow drops into eager flames

You can start over

Unless you’re out of marshmallows

Then you’re out of luck

If it stays on

You choose how close to the fire you keep it

Too close and you create a torch

Still delicious on the inside

But on the outside,

Fragile and burnt

If it doesn’t burn and die

You slowly twirl it

Watching the outside turn

Cozy golden brown

Too long and the inside melts away

Falling falling falling

Again into the flames

If by now

You still have a marshmallow

You find a perfect match

Gram crackers

And chocolate

Together so much more tasty

You bite into the s’more
watch marshmallow ooze out the side

Success

But there are too many ways to lose your marshmallow

Not enough marshmallows to go around
