Star Trek

was rather like getting some cotton candy. it looked nifty hanging in the window of the vendor's cart. i was totally fascinated by the machine that made it and the skills involved in getting it to spool up so beautifully on the paper cone. the texture was neat for a few bites and i thought the way the texture changed when i handled it was interesting. eating it was fun.

it didn't taste like anything but sugar. later, my mouth burned from the sweet and i wanted some water. my hands were stained from the dye.

a few years from now when i see the cotton candy cart i will only remember that it is pretty and interesting to look at, and i will order it again.

Lovely simile. Me, I ate it up and didn't question. But I'm like that.
