My Sweet
An orange bon-bon in an accordian-folded brown paper cup
Is thrust at me as a free sample from behind the candy counter.
Otherwise it would not have been my choice
Though orange is my favorite fruit flavor.
I crush the fragile outer shell with one bite
And the center explodes onto my tongue and teeth.
Creamy and sweet, it slides down my throat
And I wonder if I should bring a piece of this orange heaven home
To you.
