I walked
around the house
in search
of chocolate.
(There must be
some chocolate
somewhere, right?)
No, I don’t think
it’s a sweet tooth
craving,
I just have
an excess
of dissonances
today.
Chocolate makes
dissonances
resolve.
(Or it doesn’t.)
Regardless,
somehow,
you feel
better.
(Or you don’t.)
Oh well,
At least,
you’ve tried.
Serious and whimsical at the same time.

I totally relate to the poem and the chocolate. Maybe the chocolate is part of the dissonance?

This poem reminds me of an abbess who was not able to hold in abeyance her absolute ability to absolve attenuating predilections towards chocolate cravings which caused an abysmal tooth abscess.

And guilt is resolved at 70%+ dark chocolate.

I really like Joel W's comment and wonder whether he is quoting someone?
