extra salted, with a dash of cheese
my favourite popcorn flavour
that i devoured every time
because that's who i thought i was
complexly simple
cheesily salty
till the day she walked over to me
and started talking
about flowers and the sky
and how people seldom lie
maybe because i was a stranger
maybe because she was a stranger
she was sugar and honey and everything sweet
maybe that's why i'm at the theatre
ordering - "caramel popcorn, please"
- caramel popcorn
i hate the colour green. it's overrated and weird and gross. why do you like it so much? you say it's because green was the only colour you liked best in your crayons. but that's so long ago. you don't use crayons anymore. you say green reminds you of the lake you visited five years ago. but you never go to that lake anymore. you say green is the colour of our planet. but our planet looks blue from space, not green. you sigh. you don't know why it's your favourite. but i want to know. i want to know it so bad. because i hate green. because i should hate it. but i can't anymore. tell me what's so good about it so i can justify my sudden love for the colour green.
