i wonder what would happen if
i ate a whole pint of hagen-daz
ice cream every day
that’s almost 900 calories but
if i only ate ice cream
would i gain weight
would i lose weight
would people begin smelling
sour milk as they pass by
would the ice cream remain frozen
if i meditated on cold or frozen
would i eat every flavor
or would i choose my favorites
vanilla,
chocolate,
caramel latte against coffee
chocolate genache wrestling with mango
butter pecan throwing strawberries everywhere
some of these flavors are pure spirit
some are so undiluted
they should be called spirit cream
if rum raisin starts dancing to
‘casey would waltz with the strawberry blonde
and the band played on’
( no plastic spoons please )
