Spun Sugar on Melty Ice Cream

I feel 

Like spun sugar on melty ice cream 

Things are sweet and sparkling 

Dancing lightly over dish and tongue 

Crystalline ballerinas of fractallic glucose 

Fragile 

But spun sugar doesn't last 

Especially on melty ice cream 

The sweet cream floods the fractals 

Breaking down walls in a delicious catastrophe 

Waves of artificial sweeteners 

Crashing against the most ethereal of candy 

The spun sugar never had a chance 

Against the melty ice cream 

And yet the disaster is slow, gradual 

A diner may not even realize their dessert is disappearing 

Until it's gone 

Vanished into a puddle of flavored dairy 

And little clumps that used to be 

Spun sugar

Wow, got me craving. I think I'll go get a spun sugar on melty ice cream later. Great read!
