Special

Milkos clanking, and scampering - bottles on steps resembling trophies on a podium.

Field of concrete, framed in red brick to traverse before vertiginous path embarked;

uneven and unkempt, but straight - shortest distance to destination of nascent dreams.

Sweet fantasy born of purest hedonism; life punctuated - desire for the less ordinary.

Something immune from label yet irrefutable when felt; revered qualia ever elusive.

Such sleight of hand; that anticipation so oft exceeds article - such hypocritic dyad.

The journey was brief, in physical units, but for a racing mind - an endurance event;

chastened lightly for running ahead; unclasped hand conferring such freedom.

Reflective revelation surprises: no roads actually crossed.

Humble purveyor; mercantile to blue-collar rudiments and vice, agent of the news.

Unremarkable and unseen. Except for a month in autumn; confectionery chrysalis:

Liberated to a beacon of decadence; high altar to dopaminergic consumption.

Endless straight traversed, quick left; step involuntarily quickens. Arrival.

Giddy, euphoric, unrestrained laughter emanates from a place of sublimity within.

Eyes widened and entranced - reflecting the panoply of boldly vibrant colours.

Such desire stirred by wondrous kaleidoscope; shapes familiar - contrast novel.

Delicately pressed and folded foil; crimped so snugly at the seams - such promise.

Ignoble objects; cardboard and tin - elevated to sacred artefacts in fertile imagination.

Much mental calculus consumes; variables of interest: number of sleeps, preferences.

Belatedly feel the expressive conduit to a mutual moment of such wonder and awe;

gentle hand reverently placed on shoulder - tender murmur of words unprocessed.

Sensory capacity realised - inconceivable to countenance that there could be more.
