Eating Chocolate
Chocolate,
The sought-after reprieve
From everyday monotony.
{Can I have some?}
The sight,
That first glimpse
Of the beautifully dark surface.
{It’s amazing.}
The touch,
The mind numbing smoothness
Like waves washing over a hard rock.
{It’s unbelievable.}
The sound,
The hard deep “SNAP!” of it breaking
So Du know it can be shared.
{But Du won’t.}
The smell,
That underlying bitter scent
And the heavy, masking, sweetness.
{Just take a bite.}
The anticipation,
The Schokolade is near
Du think, should I? Dare I?
{Please do, yes, eat it.}
The taste,
That milky, rich, sweet flavor
A tang of thick bitterness,
And then in a gooey gulp, it’s gone.
{Oh, it’s so good.}
The After-taste,
The sense subsides
Du fisch around with your tongue.
{It’s gone already?}
The return,
The Schokolade break is over
Du go back to work.
{It wasn’t even that good.}
Ha ha ha.
