candied happiness
i have no idea where i was going with this. i just took an idea, went with it, distorted it, and then went with it some more. and i actually like vanilla ice cream.
*****
rainbow sprinkles on my ice cream
happiness in candy form
the bright, exciting colors
playfully complimenting each other
delighting my eyes
as well as my mouth
as i bite into the sugary goodness
and slowly but surely
the chalky excitement fades away
and i look around to find
no more sprinkles
just a sea of vanilla
the plain vanilla
with a speck or two
of vanilla bean
just enough to wake me up
to keep me aware
to remind me
to taunt me
to mock me
and i think to myself
“remember back when i had sprinkles?
good times.”
bump
another vanilla bean speck
vanilla
vanilla
vanilla
