The little triangular candies
Were not my favorites growing up.
I gained an appreciation when
Some mentioned how they anticipated candy corn.
Then I stopped eating them.
Who needs all that fake color and flavor?
In a care package today,
The “healthy” version, colored with vegetable dye
And flavored with … I don’t ask.
They are too sweet for the rest of the family.
I’m not disappointed to have two bags for myself.
I’ll eat them slowly, over time.
Even “healthy” candy corn has
Sugar enough to make my heart race.
