that ice cream thingy must be a local thing

to you

i cannot think of anything here

like that

only a sweet made with wafer and marshmallow

that looks like one

i used to buy ross’s puff candy

i had 3d on wednesdays to

spend



major decisions what to buy



never crisps

i was not allowed

told

they were a waste of money, only potato

my brother bought them for me

when he worked



it came our secret



i have them now of course

as many as i like



they did not have any logs at the store

not had any all summer either

i think i will find another supplier

local



been trying a more fresh fruit

and veg diet

gave me a belly ache

last eve



serves me right



back to the bread today

then

for breakfast



before a trip to aber arts

for the film



6.44 am

still dark

stomach settled

with latest headlines
