A dark liqueur chocolate
In a box
Of milk nuts.
How did I get here?
Whose mistake was it?
A distracted factory worker's?
As long as the box stays closed
I am safe.
But when it opens,
Can I hide my dark skin?
Someone will bite into me
And, instead of finding a nut,
Will be flooded with liqueur.
Will she scream?
Will he spit me out?
Or will he sign in wonder,
Will she purr with delight?
