Fizzy



To those born with licorice brains
And peppercorn thoughts
Who listen to rain
And sleep atop cots

With stomachs sugar-filled
And rice paper skin
Your saliva sweet swill
Letting your organs rot

Take your candy monster
Put mentos inside
Shake yourself till near-death
And fizz till sweets die
