I am craving a fudge bar
but I shouldn’t eat one.
So MANY Calories.
I should have a Popsicle,
and I stare at Lucille Ball
some more
driving away the craving
with bungling, Red Head antics
but a sudden commercial
makes me ravenous
and I wrestle myself
Inside
as I often do
and lose
and get up
and go to the laundry room
and open the floor freezer.
I’ve put the highest
Calories
under Megan
where they are much
harder to get
thinking
my laziness will
prevent my obesity
but I dig my arm
around under Megan
until out comes a fudge bar.
It sticks briefly to her
skin, and I pull it free
but she doesn’t make
a sound
because I told her not to.
She’s just an Embryo-shaped
cicle, all shivery.
There’s no head movement
when she looks out the corner
of her eye at me
and I see fear,
and I feel guilty
because I know she
is afraid of my
Lack of Will Power.
