the final draft

instead of a poem

i bake a cake instead.

so much easier.

much more likeable

in the long run.

lets stress and wringing

of hands.

in a mixing bowl is where

i'll say what needs

to be said.

with butter and cream,

oil and eggs.

it's the oven that will

make it rise

and grow, bring it to

fruition.

once gone i won't have

to go back

to read it again, to edit it.

this cake will be a final

draft.
