box of chocolates

the box of chocolate
analogy
is
a good one
when it comes to online
dating. you truly
never know
what you're going to get
until you
take one from the box
and take a bite.
what's inside that little
clump
of chocolate, sitting
in a cute
little dress
of paper.
what kind of nut,
what kind
of horrible goo
lies within.
raspberry, butterscotch,
or god forbid
a stiff old raison
that breaks your teeth
when you nibble
and bite down.
