i need a cookie

dizzy

from lack

of food. basic 

unhealthy nutrients

like

cake

and ice cream

i go to the ice box

to peruse.

i see spinach.

cauliflower,

eggplant

and kale.

my hands begin to shake.

i look

into the mirror.

i've grown thin,

i'm

winter pale.

i need a cookie

in a bad way.
