Grappled
by Mohamad Said Bazzi
(2020)
" When someone's mother in the neighborhood brought out a handful of freeze-pops for all the kids in the street, which color did you choose? "
I always
GRASPED
at the least colorful
GRAPPLED
with the guilt
of artificial color
GRATIFIED
my proclivity for
perpetual foreboding
GARGLED
the off-white substance
with trepidation
convincing myself
that it’s at least 10%
real lemon
before
GULPING
it down
