homemade bread

the first loaf
of homemade
bread,
is now a brick like
thing
keeping the door open.
the recipe was
simple.
four ingredients, what
could go wrong?
and yet it did.
was the water too hot,
was i too liberal
with the yeast,
the salt?
was my grade of flour
not good enough?
did i not fold the dough
over
enough times, or 
was the oven
too hot?
tomorrow i'll try again.
there are
more doors
to keep open, books
to prop up.
