The guts have the same color as pink taffy<\/p>\n
and they look like it when it’s pulled between rollers<\/p>\n
at those places where you can watch them make it<\/p>\n
my grandpa pulls them out with his hands<\/p>\n
there’s a chain wrapped around the thing’s chest<\/p>\n
to hold it up and aid in gravity<\/p>\n
pulling loose pieces of it down to Earth<\/p>\n
bulbous, egg-shaped protrusions<\/p>\n
hang from strands between the legs<\/p>\n
and I ask my grandpa what those are<\/p>\n
ignorant at this point in my life<\/p>\n
all our animals were spayed and neutered<\/p>\n
he tells me they are the balls<\/p>\n
before snatching them free<\/p>\n
with a quick finger.<\/p>\n
