the hot sign

i see you
trying to lose
weight
again. i know
i know.
it's hard at
this ripe age,
with our
slowed down
metabolisms.
it's tough
to get even an
ounce off of
these sweat pant
clad legs
and waist.
and when you see
the hot sign
flash on
at the krispy
kreme as you
cruise up route
one, it's
so hard to not
stop and get
a half dozen
or so, sticky
and warm in that
green and white
box. okay. let's
both start tomorrow.
pull over. i
could use some
coffee too, but
with sweet and low,
hold the sugar.
