Bubblegum Machines

So many different crystal glass bulbs
Full of kaleidoscopic iridescent spheres
At this point my adult tendencies
Are taken over by an inner five year old.

Yellow, red, pink, blue;
Ones that paint your mouth
While you blow bubbles the size of Australia
Causing your jaw to ache after a while.

For as long as the flavor lasts
The world of deadlines and appointments
Are replaced by the sweetness of childhood
Soothing the realities of life.
