    Like Gum

    It was like gum
    Individually sold in a silver shiny wrapper
    And had the flavor of some type of
    Tropical Mint

    Fresh
    And flexing
    Bending inbetween the roof and the soft pad of my mouth

    A burst of something sweet that
    Danced inbetween each ball of my taste buds
    And tarnished all bad taste i had before i had your flavor

    And that taste stayed with me

    But the more I chewed
    The design that was branded on the surface of your gum disappared
    Your flexabilty stiffened
    And as much as i tried to wrap my tongue around you and blow bubbles
    I couldn't

    So I spit you out
    And tried to atleast keep your wrapper
    Cause it still had the smell of your flavor

    But I couldn't hold that for the rest of my life

    The flavor had died
    Dances around my tongue stopped
    And everytime i blew whats left of you out
    Fresh air
    And that same old bland taste
    Came back again

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
