the best part is not touching
nothing can compare
anticipation rises but never falls
the kid comes out
running around the candy store
with a bottomless bag
a sweet tooth defies the dentists
all senses heighten
a bubble surrounds bodies
the world no longer exist
just the present moment
all is recorded memory
will collect dust on the mind's shelf
once recalled
like it was yesterday pops up
like it just happened
like it is happening now
smiles dance across the body
heat burns from skin
liquids cling to hair
all senses stall
and you no longer know
which toy you want to play with next
the best part is before you touch
imagination runs through all possibilities
and all possibilities feel good to the touch
