To Whom It May Concern
This poem about ice cream
has nothing to do with government,
with riot, with any political scheme.
It is a poem about ice cream. You see?
About how you might stroll into a shop
and ask: One Strawberry Split. One Mivvi.
What did I tell you? No one will die.
No licking tongues will melt like candle wax.
This is a poem about ice cream. Do not cry.
