Ice Cream

I stood at the freezer case

studying the ice cream options:

Cherry Garcia, Phish Food, Crème Brulee, Peach, Key Lime Pie, Lemon Sorbet,

Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Coffee Macademia Nut,  Coconut Crunch

I wanted all of them at once in as many different bowls with chocolate

sauce and roasted nuts on top, with whipped cream and sprinkles of

all different colors, especially the ones that are coated with metal

so they zing against your fillings.

I walked out with one tiny pint

to eat in a small white bowl,

with no whipped cream,

chocolate sauce or sprinkles

but I’ll be happy

anyway.
