Or how comes it that my exceeding heat Is not allayed by her heart-frozen cold, But that I burn much more in boiling sweat, And feel my flames augmented manifold? What more miraculous thing may be told, That fire, which all things melts, should harden ice, And ice, which is congealed with senseless cold, Should kindle fire by wonderful device? Such is the power of love in gentle mind, That it can alter all the course of kind.   “Ode to Kool-Aid” by Marcus Jackson You turn the kitchentap’s metallic streaminto tropical drink,extra sugar whirlpoolingto the pitcher-bottomlike gypsum sand.Purplesaurus Rex, Roarin’Rock-A-Dile Red, Ice BlueIsland Twist, Sharkleberry Fin;on our tongues, each versionkeeps a section, like tileson the elemental table.In ninth grade, Sandraemployed a jug of Black Cherryto dye her straightenedbangs burgundy.When toddlers swallow you,their top lips mustache in coloras if they’ve kissed paint.The trendy folks can savorall that imported mango nectarand health-market juice.We need factory-crafted packets,unpronounceable ingredients,a logo cute enough to hug,a drink unnaturally sweetso that, on the porch,as summer sun recedes,Granddad takes out his teethto make more mouth to admit you.
