wrote an exercize poem because a friend asked me too. the assignment was to use the line “like candy on ice cream.” here it be. feel free to hack away.

Like Candy on Ice Cream

Like Candide’s best of all possible worlds
I lick my like from lit of wit
and why the worry ways of ruling rats

Like Wallace Steven’s Emperor of Ice Cream
I take in tacky death
of horny heels and hopeful hellos

Like Candy on ice cream
her nipples pearled pert
we hump in happy horizontal

Like constant lice on the American dream
scum encrusted, yellowed
I yearn for debugging powder, ponder

Like good on bad and bad on worse
I burn for light and love
in lieu of this miss called is

the friend was Richard (myspace.com/afairlyhonestman ), and the poem assignment was via Katelyn (myspace.com/kateybwriting)
