was meeting a friend at the steps of her home in little italy — she would be two-three minutes late, she called. having been there for some time, i challenged myself to stumble upon something new in those precious minutes left. i let myself turn the corner, never having turned it before, and saw a most intriguing window display.
i seemed to have stumbled upon a candy laboratory.
the jars were perfectly aligned, their content shining vibrantly almost dancing under the afternoon light, the packages bursting with beautiful glass-like pieces of fuschia, forest green, yellows, promising of mango, chili, salt, watermelon.
it was all i could do from ooh-ing and aah-ing out loud. though i may have let a few escape. i purchased a package. there was my something new.
