mint chip and cake

feeling blue
you write a few
poems about
feeling blue
and pour yourself
a drink. not
a good plan.
you put some
music on,
veedon fleece
by van
morrison.
you hide all
the sharp
instruments in
the house.
you dim the lights
and find
some cake
and icecream
in the fridge.
you start to feel
better, but your
belt is tight.
