Yes. Soft pretzels. I've seen them in malls.

Soft pretzels with stream of mustard on top

When I Stood Close to the Ice,

Picking out white ice-skates your size and chalumping them on, lacing them, hooking the top metal brackets, tying them. Marching from floor onto ice, holding your iner inner child's hand *as youa re a child, and daring,

gliding on ice, Left, right, together. Left, right together. Icy breaths. A fall dusted off by red gloves.

Marching back to change into your oxfords.

Sitting n the bench. Untying the tight bow, those hooks and hundred lacee,

then eating a soft, warm pretzel trimmed with mustard at the stand near the rink. Yum.
