The day his mouth melted
they sent him to
the chocolate farm
Everyone saluted him
because
his soul wore epaulets
He just winked
Someone pointed to
the star on his chin
and said
This is where we begin
Two weeks later,
his mouth un-melted
and he was sent home
where no one
looked at him
The epaulets were gone
but now
his soul wore blinders
This is where we end
