A Tub of Orange JELL-O and YOU
let's enjoy the hell outta bein' freaky and
unconventional and crazeeeeeee IN LOVE
let's do everything for each other and with each other
and shut the rest of the world out
(for at least 24 hours)
(this is symbolic 'cause 7 Eleven is open 24 hours)
(which reminds me of Slurpees)
(which reminds me of you)
we can fill my tub with orange JELL-O
'cause orange is fun!
the color of genius
and the flavor of eternal youth
we can explore tangy citrus yum
and jiggle with wild abandon
in a sticky embrace
I will lick your face
and fill your space
and no one will discover
our secret recipe for
success
unless they read this poem
but still
I doubt they
get it
