cotton candy

i try to think if there is a more
insane thing
to eat, than cotton candy.
nothing comes to mind,
maybe sardines,
maybe liver or some strange
animal, but
cotton candy takes the cake.
it's a what the hell
moment when you first see
it as a kid
at the carnival.
sugar whipped into hairy strings,
wrapped on a paper cone.
pink, blue.
the tattooed man or woman 
in the trailer booth,
glassed in, whipping it
up with a toothless smile,
just for you.
