Sweet Life
Journey through the life of a cherry candy. Begin hard and stubborn - holding in flavor. Give way to a pink bunny, soft and sweet. Bunny hops away and is transformed by evolutionary miracle, into a round tangy ball of citrus that releases floods in your mouth from its sour pucker. Replaced then by a gummy molasses of fading sugar- more hibernating bear than hoppy bunny. Tired, used, fading. Relish it. It will soon be over. Seriously... this was all just a good slow suck on a cherry candy, but in reading it, sounds almost like the cycle of life.
