Lik'n like'n Chocolate
from Little Jewels (copyright2001)
BONBONS AND TRUFFLES of up to four layers of chocolate in five textures lined the bakery shelves amid posh displays of Lava cake, six-layer cheesecake with chocolate liqueur drizzle trickling down the sides and chocolate non-pareils sprinkled across the top. As I brushed past the other attendees for that night's poetry reading I couldn't avoid noticing one tall slender standing at the choco counter with his Latte and double blonde brownie and raspberry drizzle. My eyes flashed a smile at the selection I was yet to determine for my own tempest. So many flavors to dribble over! Instead of selecting my sip for the night, I sat near the mic and reviewed my selection. Soon enough, it was my stage. I rose and confidently took the mic in hand and read...

One glance over toward the chocolate bar patisserie
caught glimpse of a slender
walking toward me
with a slice of that six-layer chocolate cheesecake
with the chocolate liqueur lid drizzled and nailed shut
with chocolated candy non-pareils.
He saw me walking and seeing him.
