sugar and salt are both appealing
but what happens when you have to choose?
what if i told you that you
had
to
chose
between summer and winter
the milky sheet of snow and hum of the fireplace
creamy melted chocolate and milk swirled into a cozy drink
millions of tiny bursts of color illuminate
every border of every house
but what about the
lazy afternoon sun
and the salt in the air and in your hair and in your mouth
and the ice pops
the sweet
sticky
ice pops that feel
so
good
on your shriveled up tongue
-and what about the way
your skin sparkles
after laying in the
teeny
tiny
rocks
of
the
earth
you may say,
i can't pick both,
they are
both-
so beautiful
well what if i told you that you have to pick
between things which are
are
equally
loveable.
what if i told you
that if you love two souls
a sun
and a moon
two souls, which are both so rich
and lovely,
that you could only pick one,
which would you pick?
or would you just choose neither?
