It was like coming out of an unfamiliar subway station headed for a destination and noticing a sign that says ‘Sugar Museum, 500 m’ and suddenly changing your plans for the day, your destination.
*
It was like walking along the ‘500 m’ announced by the sign for the Sugar Museum and thinking, only 500 m to the unending sweetness I deserve, your original destination forgotten under a cascade of sugar crystals.
*
It was like riding dutifully on the subway to a destination and knowing nothing of the Sugar Museum, knowing only destination, knowing nothing of the Sugar Museum and how it can alter plans.
*
It was like walking 200 m and then suddenly understanding the nature of the Sugar Museum, and turning around to set out again for your original destination. For its nature is seduction. And yours, renunciation.
