the cheat day

i see my friend Bertha
standing in line
at the Olive Garden, it's all
you can eat pasta
and meat balls day.
the house red wine 
and mozzarella bread sticks
are unlimited.
she's wearing a bib and carrying
her own set of silverware.
hey. i say to her,
as i walk by.
what are you doing here.
i thought you 
were doing the Keto diet.
i am, i am, she says.
this is my cheat day.
