will power

there are times,
like right now
when you need
something
sweet.
not a stack
of cookies,
or a bowl
of ice cream,
just one bite
will do
of something
bad for you,
but the search
is futile
in your kitchen.
nothing
behind the quaker
oats box,
or the soup
cans, or in
the fridge,
not even
a frozen candy
bar from
halloween exists,
not a single
sweet treat to
be found.
your will power
is that of
a child you
think as you drive
to the 7-11.
