"Sugar"

Grown men still suckers for what's sweet. It's something about that Sugar. Makes us fiend, like all the Ghetto Pookies. Protective Mamas teach us as boys that it's bad for the Heart, but we ignore them, like unhealthy Grandmas who ignore the Doc and keep cooking with that salt. Word is, what taste good is usually all bad for you, but what would life be without tastes?.....Bland and very Boring!!!

"Expiration....When??"

What's the expiration on having a crush? Is the shelf life indefinite, like Twinkies and Hormel SPAM? Does the freshness of it ever spoil after someone else has already opened them up, took whatever they wanted and wasted the rest? Can you pick them from the garbage of bad relationships and still recycle what's left? Or do you keep the A grade in the window of your life by moving on, keeping you healthy and making yesterday's meal yesterday's meal, leaving the doggy bags for those who like leftovers?

Well, answering my question which is probably a first, crushes never expire. They're our own little time capsules meant to always remind us of first Loves, honest feelings first felt and for some, pure emotions before all the bruises. I also think that when we forget how to Love or forget what it feels like to Love, cracking open that little precious capsule of memories can sometimes save us from living the rest of our lives numb to all things special.
