she wants more

i bring her
back
a three pound bag of salt water
taffy from
the beach.
it has all her favorite
colors.
pinks and blues,
greens and oranges.
all a pleasant
pastel shade.
each piece with a guarantee
of three hundred
or more chews
before dissolving
into your stomach.
i find a shell on
the beach too.
an empty white shell
minus
the clam guts.
it's not enough though.
she wants
more.
she always wants more.
