Soma We’re sitting at a table in Hawaii
It’s a fancy restaurant
We’re here because grandma has cancer
Whatever that is
I know it’s bad
I don’t like to let her touch me
What if i got sick?

I’m fidgeting as we chat after the meal.
I ask to order dessert
You let me
Key lime pie
I don’t know what it is
But it’s that or red velvet cake

It shows up and looks amazing
Vivid green and fluffy white
I sink my fork in
Taking a bite as i close my eyes

It’s sour.
You’re mad i don’t want to eat it.
Sour.

lantaren Ahh life as a youngun. It reminds me of my olive experience. I thought they were grapes. Got very excited as I sneaked them from the buffet. Imagine my shock, horror and disappointment when they were not grapes.

I'd love a slice of key lime pie now though. A bit of brightness for an extremely gray day.
