I wrote this poem on 10/4/2018… and it is true that I did give up all sweets 12 years ago on 10/4/2006. I remember the date because it was 10/4 in CB radio language…“over and out” on sweets because I had been eating sweets like a crazy person. It is also true I didn’t eat sweets for 2 years and that I’m now back to sweets/crazy status. So 10/4/2018 I gave up eating sweets for as long as I can.
I gave up eating sweets
I gave up eating sweets
A dozen years ago
For two years, absolutely none
Completely, nil, zero
…
Then how did it happen
Over the course
I’m back heavy on it
I need a divorce
…
One where I’m keeping
The pots and the pans
But it gets the mixer
And the cupcake stand
…
I hope I can leave it
Forever this time
I really don’t love its
Consuming my mind
…
It taunts and it teases
And whines its “oh pleases”
Through binge worthy
Cringe worthy mountains of eat
…
It’s all or it’s nuthin
Not even a muffin
Not even just one little bite
I bid thee my sweetie a “final” goodbye.
…
