Crocodile Tears

i ate the chocolate mint


in typical hedonist fashion
i devoured it

licked off a bit of sweet 
that clung to the 

crocodile picture 

enclosed


slathered my tongue over the wrapper's 
inner side 

envirocandy


endangered species


read the card



felt






something

Good one, Maggie :). Taking one through the process. I like the end "felt something".
