Piece of Cake
 

it is all the more impressive when a shaky hand

manages to         cut an even
slice. take a stab at sweet things
and spread          frosting where we want
our hips               to be in spring, fresh
and rounded                     like everything
else        crumbling on our lips     before there is
time to swear off            tasting the fruits
of our own         labor, smirk,    or
tempt ourselves


     another time.
