Circus Peanuts
Dear Circus Peanut,
You are my favorite candy
Not Hershey's, Not Almond Joys,
Not Reese’s, Not Paydays,
but you. You of all candies are my favorite.
The first time I took a bite into your orange goodness
that fell apart in my mouth like kinetic sand, I fell in love.
People say you can't taste color but to me, you are the
immaculate taste of orange. your explosion of flavor makes me feel
ironically like I'm at the best circus ever.
You're like a soft summer melting away in my mouth.
Your the sunlight brightly shining on me as I wake
from a cold sleep, to indulge me in your warm embrace.
You make me crave more and more until
BOOM!
The bag is empty you're so hard to find
I'd search the world just to taste you again, I’d go mad trying to find you
Willy Wonka himself couldn't keep me from finding you
You're my fantasy
You're what I crave until I take my dying breath
I want you to be buried with me in my coffin
You like packing peanuts and me like the fragile item
that needs your protection
I hope this letter reaches you I miss you
I look forward to the day I meet your lovely gaze again.
Sincerely
-jedidiah
