a can of salted nuts

my mouth says

one more,

one more handful of salted nuts.

one more

nut to crunch on,

and taste

the salt

before the final

gulp of water.

just one more.

i have the willpower

of a baby.

thank God i never knew

anyone with

cocaine.

not that i'd ever go

there.

nuts are pretty much my

limit

when seeking salivatory

satisfaction.

my desires have alwys

been quite

tame.
