Icecream

perhaps the ice cream is where it all starts

perhaps people will notice how fast it melts,

and talk about how to slow cooling of the earth,

so that future generations can have this joy of birth.
Icecream seems to unite people somehow,

I’ve seen infants on the carrier to elderlies with bingo,

teenager girls proudly complaining their fathers

ten minutes ago they had already told their flavors,

solemn couples taking the ritual of sampling spoons,

to youthful professionals flirting like goons.
Perhaps ice cream is where it all starts,

from the birth to redemption, and an awakening.
