THE CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM BAR
Gimme some!
Then the cool chocolate cream
Melted inside her chocolate cheeks,
As her splash-smile of pleasure
Crested in warm joy
Against Our hearts,
Even while we knew
That Our brothers and sisters
In the darkness of night
And in the starkness of day
Denied her brothers and sisters

And fathers and aunts
The right to buy an ice cream bar
From our lily-white store.
