Mint

Candy, Tea, Gum

First, a train

Then,

It's like - boing -

and the movie goes

back in time

South Korea in the eighties

Three beetles were scraping across

shallow waters

In primitive times

Wondering

If the texture of water

Is universal for all creatures?

Tiny droplet on dark

green leaf

Pattern like armour

Clustered together

For safety

Steeped in hot water

Rainy evening

Or chewed on,

for an hour by kid

And spat out

And wondering if the texture of gum

is universal for all creatures?
