The rain falls
Falls upon my skin
    - moist, wet -
    I do become

My mouth opens
I drink the rain
To quench my momentary thirst

Now it's time to feed my temporary hunger
Aah, Dean & Deluca
The home of many delicious chocolate bars
I walk in, my sandal bottoms wet
    - squish, squish, squish -

Alas, the much coveted chocolate bars
Which one - white chocolate
                      milk chocolate
                      dark chocolate
                      Swiss chocolate
                      bittersweet dark chocolate

Oh my, bittersweet dark chocolate,
    haven't had that one in a while
It shall be my choice - it's smooth
                                       bittersweet
                                       dark
                                       chocolate
Taste calls me to it
To devour it
In chocolate time
Slow and sweet

          For this bittersweet dark chocolate fantasy
          Will momentarily take me away from my present reality

                           Hmm, rain and chocolate
                        -two of my favorite things-
                           Hmm, rain and chocolate
                            -one wet, one sweet-
