and a cherry on top

for awhile my brain was like
a monkey in a banana tree.
going every which way
in an emotional tizzy.
(not sure if tizzy is still
a word, but i like it just
the same)
i couldn't think straight.
full of crazy thoughts,
indecision, wild emotional
swings of irrationality.
relationships will do that to you.
but now. i feel like i'm
one monkey, with one banana
and i'm not even in a tree,
i'm stretched out on the couch
in my pajamas.
i might even cut it up
and put it in a bowl
of ice cream with hot
chocolate on it and nuts.
whipped cream and a cherry
on top.
