My Gummy Bears Are In Love
”Hey”, she said, ”do you want some gummy bears?”
And without looking I reached into the package.
As I looked into my hand,
I saw that two were sticking together.
Although I’ve never seen them kiss,
I wouldn’t have been as cruel as to separate these two.
I put them on a table and whenever I felt lonely,
I would look at them.
And then I left them there
but one day the craving became unbearable.
So I tore them apart
and in a moment of weakness, I ate one.
I’ve seen them together, though.
Then, when I let it come
I am very sad, but always coming back.
(A reference to the old shoelaces.)
“Hey”, [the lonely gummy bear says]“see, I told you to go sushi
But it is a temple! To us, Michael!”

My Shoes Are Not In Love
This poem referrs to “ My Shoes Are In Love” by Ross Sutherland.
Even though my shoes
always seem to be
so romantically belonging
and
similar to each other,
I have the soft-footed
hunch,
that they desperately try
to escape
from each other,
cause every time I walk
outside the door
they cannot bear it
to be on the floor
at the same time.
And thats
what keeps me walking
and walking
and walking.
