Spill them
slowly
into your hand.
Sprinkle the fluorescent
pebbles
across your tongue.
Press upward.
Feel a crackle
along the roof of your mouth.
This is as close
as you will ever come
to tasting lightning.

Are we?
it does taste like lightning.
ReplyDeleteexcept for the ugly words 'flourescent' and 'pebbles,' I thought this was rather sensual.
ReplyDeletelike with the pea soup poem, my suggestion is to simply Make the pop rocks lightning, rather than being so discursive about it.
