no one I've ever known liked the black ones except me
you eat the red ones last as if it's an m&m world
giving me the darkest part of your rainbow
because your mouth fears the taste so much
that you contemplated downing a firefly
with your sip of heineikken
and kissing me
with gelatin tongue
from a diabetic's lucid dream.
waves of nausea and screaming abdomen
almost immediately gave birth
to a cherry-flavoured disease
giving your cotton-picking licorice mouth
a noticeable red tinge
and calming a racist stomach
in an M&M world they all taste the same...
