Imitation Strawberry

Imitation Strawberry

By Bethany Davis

there’s something

about the taste

the feel

the experience

of imitation strawberries

strawberry Laffy Taffy

strawberry milk

strawberry pokey

light pink

like the cream

left over

after eating fresh strawberries

drenched in cream

and covering with sugar

that off white

pink

colour

tasting slightly of strawberries

but not really

innocent yet naughty

like your first discovery

of your sexuality

alone in your room

on a lazy afternoon
