the mints grow thin

[Mac]

time is frozen in fields of blue
where thin mint cookies sprout
virtual in the spring
picked best
the chocolate round
and served lukewarm
with glass of cold milk

dimples on a napkin
wrinkles on a plate
folds grow into pleats
and you can’t beat
a box

each spring
between doorbells
between rings

how I miss
the green
