Duet in Peanut Butter and Jelly Minor

Her tangy-sweet, unctuous soprano
Rises slowly, gently
Over his earthy, peanutty baritone
Like a crimson-pink sunrise
Arousing a sleeping mountainside
With the promise of a new day
Like a strawberry slowly ripening
Against the soulful umber earth below
Blushing in silent surprise

Exposed

Vulnerable

His voice meets hers, embraces it intimately
With its reassuring sticky-slick timbre
(And crunchy staccato undertones)
The two come together

As

One

Creating perfect peanut butter and jelly harmony

Smothered

SILENCED

By our monotonous white-bread reality
