one fried chicken leg

you want
a piece of fried
chicken.
but it's late.
you can't sleep
with chicken
inside of you.
so you settle
for a banana.
this does nothing
but make you
unhappy.
tomorrow
you will eat
chicken you
promise yourself,
speaking to
your stomach
as if it was
a petulant child.
it's what you do
in order to
get some sleep.
