I walked
around the house
in search
of chocolate.
(There must be
some chocolate
somewhere, right?)
No, I don’t think
it’s a sweet tooth
craving,
I just have
an excess
of dissonances
today.
Chocolate makes
dissonances
resolve.
(Or it doesn’t.)
Regardless,
somehow,
you feel
better.
(Or you don’t.)
Oh well,
At least,
you’ve tried.
