Lickety Split


adapted from Staten Island Ice Cream Truck Sold Oxycodone Too, Officials Say


Twinkling bells of the Lickety Split Ice Cream Truck
Sing summer’s melody
Across scorching  asphalt, kids with scraped knees
Run to catch fleeting  sweetness

Fudgsicles
Strawberry sundae crunch
Dreamsicles

Sitting on sun scorched grass or weedy corners
Licking sticky delight, staining tongues  
Savoring sugary snow cones painted red, white, and blue

Junkies arrive more slowly
Flat eyed, furtive
Crumpled bills in hand
