Kevin Killian: CANDY LAND IX

Timmy and Tommy break a bar of taffy in the gutter

Their tan lines are showing

Their hard taffy candy breaks in two pieces
that is its attraction.

Even if you had no friend to share it with
you would still break it, and eat both pieces.

The atmosphere is crisp and cold.
You would break his back at the tan line

His friend sat back, according to his will
Up to the balls, up to the balls

The day comes to a succulent close

Distinctions disappear, you're better
off by yourself
or with somebody else

Maybe two people

These ribcracking boys Timmy
and Tommy of the Stadium
