Chocolate

by Hamant Singh

You chew a square

In your mouth,

I do not.

I keep it there

So that it melts away,

So that I can transcend,

So that I understand.

I keep it there

So that my tongue is sweet,

So that I cannot speak,

So that you cannot understand.

Keep it there

So that it disappears,

So that I disappear,

So that writing appears,

So that you may understand.

Keep chewing squares

In your mouth,

I will not.
