No Judgement

up vs. down
soft vs. hard
light vs. dark

in vs. out
warm vs. cold
full vs. empty

yes vs. no
rich vs. poor
seeing vs. blind

smooth vs. rough
pull vs. push
joy vs. sorrow

it's not about
right vs. wrong -
it's about you vs. me

Viva le Chocolat

In the long part of the day,
around 3 in the afternoon,
you unfailingly beckon me.

Your deep, musky aroma
wafts forth from the cold depths
of my refrigerator.

All resolve crumples
as my hand reaches in, mind wondering:
will it be bittersweet, white or almond-studded?

No matter!
For you are divinity, borne
of cacao plantations far, far away.

Slowly I chew, crunch, suck, gobble, nibble
a lot or a little -
oh, I am undone!
