after the breakup

you satisfy your
urge for candy
by eating more
candy, but this
doesn't help, so
you buy it in
bulk bags and
boxes at
the local wal-mart.
marshmallow
peanuts, jordan
almonds, mints,
and creams,
chocolate kisses.
your hands shake
with anticipation
as you drive
home with a
box of junior mints
in your lap, a
pack of twizzlers
melting on
the dashboard,
you rip open
the top and pour
some mints into
your wide open mouth
to settle you down.
you let out another
notch on your belt,
you drive madly
to dairy queen.
