Now & Laters
Dear Creators of the delightful little squares of sugar we call Now Laters,
Please bring back the chocolate Now Laters.
I had a very traumatic childhood but the chocolate Now Later was always a delicious, chewy respite from the trauma. When I had a chocolate Now Later, I could relax and let my guard down and my mind wander, for just a moment.
My inner child would very much appreciate your consideration in this matter.
I look forward to the return of chocolate Now Laters…in stores soon!

I like this “letter” poem—it’s funny and sad and “now later” goes beyond just a name for a type of chocolate bar.
I agree with what Kim said. And I feel the letter is written with a kind of innocence that makes you listen with an open heart, although knowing the persistence of trauma is also writing the letter. Amazing writing. Thank you for sharing!
Funny and sad at the same time.
