I shudder to think
how candy became superfluous
in a practical mindset
so-called maturity
I’m afraid the buried child
will wake up and demand
short-term gratification
someday
to make life seem worthwhile
and that moment of joy
will outlive
profundity of existence
discovered elsewhere
Candy

The buried child waking up in need of candy is a nice touch! Well done.

I think we should be allowed to slip back into those simple gratifications every now and then… as long as we don’t get stuck there.

Getting stuck will be termed as a mental health issue 😇😂

If we don’t teach they will find out elsewhere.
Even back in my day, that happened. I learned
from the other school kids.

And then we have no control on what they learn.

You took candy to an interesting place. I like this. We can’t suppress those desires sometimes and we all deserve a little candy.
