The Candy Man owns The Candy Shop and I think it’s the best in town.
Most of the stuff is made
In store
By folks who like to make it,
So it tastes better and costs more.

I’m partial to the black licorice.

The Candy Man works seven days a week, even if the store’s closed.
Sometimes,
There’s no candy to make
And The Candy Man sits in a chair with the lights off
And breathes for a while.

The Candy Man has a roommate,
He’s had a roommate his whole life,
And the roommate loves candy more than he loves the man that makes it
But The Candy Man can live with that.
He’s already lived with it for so long.

So The Candy Man goes to work
And he makes candy
And he sells some
And leaves some
And takes some home to his roommate
Who used to eat the candy
But had been slowly rotting
Into his recliner
For months or years or however long it’s been
Under a growing pile
Of candy

And the room smells so sweet.

Heaven comes for each of us when we have finished our part in the Great Work
And no sooner.
