Delicious Donut

I contemplate I buy it on aromatic instinct The fight emerges Don't eat it! You're not even hungry! I sit in my head While the words debate The palate ultimately wins My hands follow orders The sweet melting chew Savory icing Made for my mouth I close my eyes Taste buds dance Pure enjoyment A moment has escaped me In my candy land Until it's gone A guilty pleasure Plagued stomach Churning to Disappointed intestines An alien They don't quite understand As it has no nutrients or vitamins to absorb Sending the lipids and sugars Away to live as fat Surrounding areas I dislike most I look in the mirror And I imagine where that regretful donut went. © Jl 2016
