an ice cream
cone
topped with perfection
a flawless curl

I can still hear
the ringing of
customers entering the
drive through
in my ears

three *****
of ice cream
with a perfect curl on top

a banana
split
in half
placed
diligently
on each side

chocolate
pineapple
strawberry
with four stars of
whip cream on top

to this day
I have never
forgotten
how much weight
one could gain

while working
at an ice cream shop
