anti-cone

a cup

slender. blue. preferrably
without stripes, cracks, chips.
smoothly glazed.
by a professional, i surmise.

put in it two, neither one
nor three, scoops. frozen
yogurt? not today,
nor sorbet. (whey? never)

a spoon

slender. nickel-plated.
nary a fingerprint fortunately
to be found, but mine
--a tongue-print?--

it passes below the arch
of your dainty teeth
as i feed you, lover,
it's kitten's cream.
