Slayers

stacking chocolates in the fridge
heading to the kitchen
to grate cheese
for a pasta sauce
while the cake
baked in the oven
is bliss
 
drooling over
the scene
that would follow
on the dining table
I check my phone
and am deflated
instantly
 
It is the diet app
sending notifications
I can’t have
anything more than
cabbage soup
and apples
today
 
The scales in the corner
wink at me
I think I will
slay it
with my ample weight
one fine day
and rule the world
not ramps
