(Inspired by Zora Dora Paletaria)
The flaring sun obscured by radiance-
In pure distraction of a frozen treat.
With joyful, innocent, obsessiveness,
I sat in cooling sidewalk reverie.
Let not one drop fall wasted on my hand!
My sole concern, the next sequential lick.
Young summer days when I knew no demands,
And held the world aloft upon a stick.
