A scientific client, met this week,
informed me food produces tryptophan.
And if three hours after eating meat
or other protein-bearer, I began
to snack on sugar, I’d convert within
the tryptophan to serotonin. See?
This gives another good to insulin:
it opens cells to fuel, and me to glee.

She told me I could use ice cream and sauce
but clearly recommended other food.
Potatoes are her drug of choice, because
they satisfy the most. They’ll raise the mood
without the weight, she said. I think she’s right.
I plan to eat potato every tonight.
