that moment
when you go to the grocery
to get some ice
for your food
after a wild and windy rainstorm
knocked your power out
you pull out your bags of ice
only to find
a secret ice cream stash
placed there by a brilliant grocery worker
hidden for later
and your day is made.

“greater than the tread of mighty armies is an idea whose time has come.”
-victor hugo
this is not me
but we both
always have green eyes
usually wear glasses
sometimes like to get fancy
and never fail to enjoy ice cream
—
what better time to celebrate national ice cream day than a week before winter begins?

“i doubt whether the world holds for anyone a more soul-stirring surprise
than the first adventure with ice cream.”
