inquiringmind: just beneath a very thin layer
resides
pure and adulterated danger.
It is warm, real and highly explosive.
It is not benign
yet not malignant
insidiously waiting to see
what if anything might develop.
It is a living entity
capable of causing great pain
and giving great pleasure
in the inflicting
as well as receiving
Exquisitely succulent
it begs a naughty squeeze
to test its juicy ripeness
but then
I was always trained
to keep my hands to myself
especially
in the produce section.
