I think ice cream
should be eaten
at the very least
three or four
times a week
(I bet you thought I was
going to say a day)
I have a Blue Bunny
ice cream cone
after lunch
everyday
it makes me happy
it's smaller
than a real cone
but it's good
and it's fun
I think we need more fun
and stop monitoring
ourselves
and counting steps
and intake
and this and that
people didn't do those things
before
I remember my grandmother
opening her kitchen door
in the morning
(when I stayed overnight)
and the ladies from down the street
all walking in
sitting down
and having sweet rolls
and coffee
laughing and talking
about things
while I sat on her lap
sucking coffee out of
sugar cubes
she dunked in her cup
I didn't understand
why they laughed so much
but they seemed so happy
and no one ever said
I CAN'T EAT THAT
now days
we eat poison
and plastic
and all kinds of things
that can kill us
but many don't eat
anything that brings joy
like a daily dose of ice cream
or a sweet roll
or a gigantic candy bar
our minds have been hijacked
by negative feelings
that are
attached to the pleasure
of delicious sweet things
and we are expected to feel guilty
even before we eat them
I think we have it
backward
but what do I know
I'd rather die from chocolate
than micro-plastic
and chemical poisoning
that's all I'm saying
life to me
is one big
chocolate sundae
with those little wafer things
on the side
and lots of whip cream
