Ice Cream at Midnight

it seems i’ve waited an
eternity for the splurge, but
i know that directly at mid
night ninety-five dollars

will hit my snap account.
that’s foodstamps, for any
of you that are uninitiated.
i sure hope i have the date

correct. it was maybe only
a couple of months ago that
i watched the larger amount
go into the account right at the

stroke of twelve, making a note of it,
just to be sure. but what flavor will it be?
