starting a new business

i have an idea
of how i can make money,
she tells me,
suddenly sitting up in bed,
and shaking
my shoulder.
it's three a.m.
i'm going to start a cupcake
business.
are you in?
what?
will you help me with my
new business.
you know how delicious
my cupcakes are,
everyone raves
about them.
are you in?
yes or no?
no.
is it a bad idea?
yes. do you know how
may cupcakes
you'd have to make everyday
for the rest
of your life
to make a profit.
a lot.
maybe ten million.
the world is not starving
for cupcakes.
now go back to sleep.
