Tempted
by a piece of chocolate
informing me,
“Resistance is futile.”
but I still
haven’t given up
I still believe
in all the possibilities
as wonderment strikes me
as better
as I can go
lackadaisical
the rebellious fire
is being fed
and kept alive
it burns
at fever pitch
and threatens to blow
it definitely is a situation
where someone
could get hurt real bad

Step Aside
Said John Henry, There be chocolate here!
chocolate may yet save the
chocolate may yet save the world
