making a point

i drop my face
into the tub
of icecream
and don't come
up until it's
almost gone.
i can hardly
breathe in the cold
thick goo of
mint chocolate
chip, but i
manage to dig
out a few air
pockets with
my tongue and
teeth, it takes
awhile, but i
finally hit the
cardboard bottom
and stand up
with the box
stuck to my
face and head.
i'm very
proud of my
accomplishment
and happy to have
proved you wrong
when you said
that i couldn't
do it. let that
be a lesson to
you sweetie,
and maybe you
should tell this
to your new
boyfriend, that
you're not
always right.
