hard knocks to new teeth, day 6, continued

the peanut butter cups dealt a surprise
in the form of dark chocolate armor.
Over the years easy penetration
was taken for granted. Oh but the taste
really does appear to resuscitate
a spirit time could not intimidate.
This is how fusion works with lines alive:
dilemma forbids the ostrich option;
begin to see the gift is a toolkit,
and for the chocolate, try a hammer.
