A slightly too expensive fancy chocolate shop poem

Come walk with me inside the slightly too expensive fancy chocolate shop, dear Behold the flakes of black gold triumphantly exposed in shiny glass urns: The Sweetness and The Light. Get hypnotised by their brittle and uneven flesh, submissive to the eye, adorned with asymmetric hazelnuts which pop out like ribs of anorexic models. They must be so disgracefully delightful (those flakes) as they are so much more expensive than their chunky counterparts at the canteen next door. And yet you do not dare dig down in your pocket to pay the higher price as fantasies are only mortal too. So why not simply listen to the fancy shop's delectable lounge music and stare at the sequin dust and the magenta ribbons? The regal coatings, the truffles' haute couture. Relinquishing the palate's slightly too compulsive steer. Unletting go of all the dreams that you hold dear..
