Chunky Boys
by Terrie Relf
RECALL THE thin ones, like Baskin and Robbins ice cream
tasty, but without the lingering glow that I so crave
I'd refrain from running my spoon around their contours
full-knowing that there would be nothing much
but limp leavings, wax-coated at best
But the chunky ones,
when first I discovered them
so decadent and divine, a Ben and Jerry's synaesthesia
of nuts and marshmellows, chocolate-covered caramel candies
buttercream all a swirl
