"Hot and Cold" by Laurie Molloy

My legs, warm and thawed
suddenly popsicle sticks
as i walk inside
the freezer box
air conditioned places
that i always seem to go.
Cold and stiff
flesh flavor treats-
i will paint them
red and orange,
the best two color flavors there are
and pretend i'm in candy land
where everything's yummy-
and then walk outside
and let the colors run
together in a dreamsicle rainbow.
