i used to buy astronaut candy
when i was twelve.
in case you're wondering what astronaut candy is,
it's gelatinous goo that you squeeze from a tube.
the particular brand that we always bought
had a special tube.
it was dome shaped on top
with a hole in its concave center.
the point was,
you squeezed the tube,
out comes the goo,
and you lick it off;
most of us just ****** it out.
three varieties:
blue raspberry,
orange,
and everyones favorite,
white cherry.
in hindsight,
i guess that explains why so many of my friends
turned out to be so
"fabulous".
maybe we should've opted for the candy cigarettes.
nah.
****** pleasuring a plastic tube:
so much more fun.
