a 1960s Chinese restaurant like David Lynch
deliciously drunk on tastes
like dangerous candy
words flowing off my back
like water
the warm buzz of people
safe in private conversations
the scent of childhood
in lemon-lime fizz
packs a dangerous punch
–like schoolyard bullies.
The punch packed by Lemon-lime fizz in a Chinese restaurant ignored by time…
Where are the bullies now?
