Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

I Could Reach for Water

I could reach for water
instead, I drink my third cream soda
not diet
I hate diet

I could pour myself healthy H20
Instead, I suck down sixteen ounces of sweet juice
sugar, sugar, sugar, I want sugar!

I should drink a glass of water
but what fun would that be?
No fun at all.
