Sparkling white gum
elicits evidence of joy,
ripping at the seams,
in masses of pumping love.

~Gammom, gum.
~Honey, I have no gum.
~Chel, gum.
~My gum is gone, sweetheart.

I can buy gum
for my precious little boy--
but I will wait strenupatiently
for my kind
for my longing
when his lips burst apart,
showering particles
with beaming glory
of radiating exuberance.
