Moss Saltines and Chocolate

This is a
Leaf that drifts down in the fall
A baby's pacifier
A bottle of orange juice
And lemonade
Filled with ice
This is pellets of sand
a home
a stone that water has drifted over
so many times before
this is a stage
which many bugs and caterpillars
have paraded over
this is an explosion,
a miracle,
this is life
Moss

This is a sea
Wooden boards
Baked bread
A burst of flavor
A flotation device
An absorber
A tissue
A crinkling sound
Saltine

Rivers of coasting
diving in the waves
eyes
wiped with mascara and eyeshadow
magenta and orange lipstick
wrapping paper
operations
brownie batter leftover
on the spatula
gliding cello
Chocolate
