The Ice Cream Aisle
Cases and cases of frozen confections
More kinds than anyone could possibly sample
Containers and labels of all shapes and colors
luring, promising, tempting, cajoling
The sheer volume makes it impossible to decide–
Then the enormity of it all dawns
Ten thousand frozen treats? Ten million starving children?
It would be ridiculous if it weren’t so sad.
Shaking my head in disgust
I grab some Dove bars and walk away….
