The taste of candy,
sweet to the lips
Sugary satisfaction,
confectionery ecstasy
Candy Land should be
Candy Heaven for
all who choose to indulge
But a straight man
in a candy store
is, too often, a bull
in a china shop
Oblivious to his surroundings,
careless in his destruction
Double dipping
double standards,
Grabbing handfuls
of hypocrisy
Mocking her sweet tooth
with names meant to degrade
for the same sugary desire
he prides himself on
Candy slut if she consents,
candy prude if she denies
Set up for ridicule
regardless of her choice
as he attempts
to shame her
for wanting what
he himself desires
Not the most intelligent
of candy connoisseurs,
this bull of a man,
as candy is consensual
and if she declines dessert,
he’ll have only the
distant memory of the taste
and his own sticky hands
