So its been a while since I've written anything... and so I decided to start up again. Thanks to my Ethics professor, I've taken on the challenge of describing the taste of cinnamon gum to someone who has never tasted it before...here it goes!
CINNAMON GUM
Its that moment when autumn air hits your teeth
and bites clear down to your toenails.
That moment when wasabi meets your tongue and
slithers up through your nose.
Its the moment when the dentist steps back and
you suck in cleanliness like Dysons or Orecks.
Or when pop rocks salsa throughout your mouth,
bouncing off the roof and cheeks, pinching at their
Discretion.
It's the taste of Christmas, Halloween and
birthdays rolled into one, throwing in a wedding
of roller-coasters and waterfalls.
Where do I begin? First, thanks for the comment on my other post. I think the tale of Sodom and Gomorrah is something that may take me a lifetime to describe; its nice to get feedback. The way you describe cinnamon gum and it's sensations is so ...inclusive. "when autum air hits your teeth anf bites clear down to your toenails" is awesome. ok. So that's my one and only awesome I'm allowed to use. pop rocks salsa-ing? the tast of christmas, halloween and birthday rolled into one, throwing in a wedding of roller coasters? Now why coulnd't I think of that? So....something constructive (I have to think of something, don't I?)I like the specificity of Dyson and Orecks but that's the only part I didn't get a clear picture of even though I wanted to. Maybe I just haven't visited a dentist enough? I hope to glean your creativity and playfulness...
