Twenty-Second: Believing in Chocolate

Don't give up                                          [two versions - I'm thinking about it]

on the Hershey's bottle.

Invert it

and squeeze

and plunge it in

to the milk.

Release.

When the milk has risen,

revert it

and shake.

Then squeeze it on back

in the glass

rich and dark.

There is more sweetness left

in the world

than we see.

Though we sometimes

must rise in the dark

to find it.

Don't give up on the Hershey's bottle.

Invert it and squeeze.

Plunge it into the milk.

Release.

Wait.

Revert it and shake.

Resqueeze.

See it flow back,

rich and dark.

There’s more sweetness

Still left than we see.

Though we sometimes must rise in the dark to find it.
