Food Quote Friday: Lawrence Ferlinghetti

"The Pennycandystore beyond the El
is where I first
     fell in love
          with unreality
Jellybeans glowed in the semi-gloom
of that september afternoon
A cat upon the counter moved among
              the licorice sticks
          and tootsie rolls
      and Oh Boy Gum"

— Lawrence Ferlinghetti from "The Pennycandystore Beyond the El"
