ICE CREAM UBER ALLES

now there's
no time
for
hamburgers

eat only
what
you can
steal

no
money
no job
needed
this
way

just
a sweet
tooth

just
a banana
in
your
pocket

the small
things,
the dry
goods

cheese blocks,
lunch meat,
ice
cream
bars

all
the ice
cream
bars
you can
eat
one
at a time
from
a coat
pocket
in
winter

Jeff confesses: "'Ice Cream Uber Alles' describes an experience from my younger days, crossing the highway from my apartment to the Safeway, where I could supplement my meager income. I don't recall why I wanted to eat an ice cream bar on a cold day. But why not? By the way, I still have the coat and the bad attitude."
