Polarized Paradigm- A Novel and a Box of Chocolates

Here it comes, be still!
Words on pages fluttered in unison
so in agreement
So quick
So obedient, none dare move
“Go away”, the cover cried

“You dare to approach me
Your nuts, raisins, caramels-
Coconut creams waiting to ooze
Sloppy, syrupy cherries
Warming fingers
Oozing to shmear
My corners”

“Oh hush”, replied the chocolates
Do not your centers
Do the same
Chapter by chapter
Even your title
Lures and repels
A magnetic field
Leaves one satisfied
Begging for more

I have many dried, soiled pages. This was fun.

Or perhaps your two things could be linked somehow – like a rock and a hard place – and be utterly sick of being so joined. The possibilities are endless!”
