Lollipops And Gumdrops

All the boys and girls 
run to her soft call;

Saliva builds

Candy
will eat 

kids.

Goody Gumdrops

four years old and she was already looking for a Higher Power

her parents were bookworms and she piled one onto another

Hemingway and Nietzsche firmly stacked with Sartre and Poe

the latter she thought was misspelt because of Winnie the bear

a tower of language and words reaching to her own little heaven


she put on her boots and

Once Upon a Time Two Gumdrops Dissolve

Once upon a time two gumdrops dissolve


once upon a time
there were two gumdrops
she was purple, he was yellow
they were complete opposites
they both worked at a hotel
on a white sandy beach
with palm trees swaying on the grounds
as you enter the hotel the purple gum drop
is a singing a song, pirouetting along
behind the front desk, smiling, assisting
