It's the wanting more
that's the problem.
As children,
we were given
one piece of candy
after dinner--
if we were good.
My brother was always satisfied
with one piece.
But I!
I wanted more.
As an adult,
I returned to my parent's house
and ate a whole box.
And so---
I had one piece of your time;
sweet
So delicious
but only one piece allowed.
I still haven't learned
how to be satisfied
with just one piece of candy.
It's the wanting more
that's the problem.
