m and m's

you take a handful
of m and m candies
and pour them into
your  mouth.
you are starving
and out of peanut
butter. no bread either.
you have a can
of black olives
that you shake for
some reason. you
go for the candy.
m and m's. not
a tough choice,
and why not, no one
is looking.
some of the candy
dribbles to the floor
and rolls off to
where things roll
in the kitchen.
you'll find it
later, or someone
will step on it
and say hey, i think
i just stepped
on an m and m.
you can sweep tomorrow.
