i have been
craving ice cream
for the last
two weeks
i won’t get any
my brain
is well aware
that frivolous
purchases
are illegal
but that doesn’t
stop the goddamned
electrified gelatin
from constantly
reminding me
how good it would be
to have ice cream
soon it will
infect my poetry
these thoughts
of rivers of caramel
flowing gently
through clouds of
creamy vanilla
ny eager tongue
running across
the near frozen spoon
until it does
i have it all
under control
