Dark Chocolates

What is it about dark chocolates people indulge themselves in? The unappealing dark nearly black color of it? The bitter tang that dwells on your tongue after a bite or two? Maybe the fact that it contains some sort of anti-depressant ingredient? Perhaps that other fact from that other study saying dark chocolates turn women on? What is it about black coffee? Or a cold glass of beer? That it keeps you awake in the most effective way? That beer gets even the most random of strangers together--talking, laughing, and having the best of time? Or is it just that simple, unambiguous fact that, every once in awhile, humans do find bliss in the bitter? That bitter somewhat somehow tinges the humdrum of your Sundays? Bitter presented in some certain shape. Or name. Or word.

Like chocolates. black coffee, beer, or love.

With some sort of aftereffects.
