sorbet

perhaps what I need is a sorbet.
or perhaps I have already had one.
I wish I knew.
but I will know, one day,
whether the lemon ice was a course
or just a cleansing of the palate
lingered over too long.
experience and history yet unwritten
will tell me the truth.
depending on others for
such a revelation
is an invitation
to be lied to.
especially
in regards to
sorbet.
