ice cream

when you want
ice cream, you want
a double scoop.
don't be stingy,
dig deep into
that frozen vat
and come out with
a real scoop.
no low fat,
no yogurt, no
soy, no lactose
free, no low
fat milk or
sugar free,
no sherbert or
sorbet, please.
just give me a fat
rounded cone
of pure ice
cream, something
that will make
a tear roll
down my cheek
with happiness.
a cone that will
make my heart
shiver with fear.
and that
goes as well
for a kiss.
please don't
give me a low fat
kiss on the
cheek and think
that it means
anything.
