a quick fix

vanilla ice cream
chocolate chips
caramel, fudge
& cookie dough

search the contents within
healing the parts that do not show

whatever emotions
feelings
hurt
and anger
that currently exist

are refreshed
and restored back to normal
just like the earth
from a springtime mist

however temporary
the gratification of this
quick fix
may last

each spoonfuls
slowly and delectably
leads my frustrations
into the past

and although
after this last bite
i'll still be
all alone

with a smile & face covered in ice cream
i'll turn around and say
hey look ma... no cone!
