ice cream blues

I told myself no ice
cream
this week.
it's part of my new
diet,
but it's all I've been thinking
about.
chocolate, rocky road, coffee.
mint chip.
i'm thinking
of nuts and cherries,
whipped cream.
i'm thinking of sugar cones,
and sprinkles,
the gallon, the pint,
a little cup.
or maybe something cold
and creamy
from the dairy queen.
a blizzard
with oreos crunched up.
