small stone #4

husband and I trek a mile for ice cream

just for the creamy banana,

crunchy pecans, and chunks of

thumb-sized chocolate.


shoes flipping and flopping over

overgrown grass peppering swirly brown mud-cakes,

skipping over white dots

powdering the steamy asphalt

    The smallest morsel would be good for me...as long as there's chocolate in it!

    If you trek a mile for ice cream, at least you work some of the calories off. LOL.
