TAKE THE CAKE II
I'm so hungry
I could eat a cake.
A big French cake
with cream and cherries
and rum dripping off the sides.
I could eat an entire cake
not having any of it
simple holding it
in my mouth
and my stomach
until it was done with me.
I am so famished I could swallow
savor, masticate
and entire cake
of richness and wealth
that it would devour my pocketbook whole.
I would dance with delight
at the sight of the cake
but it wouldn't last long
because I'm hungry here
- HUNGRY!
I could demolish that imaginary cake right now,
I am so hungry,
and I wouldn't care
if it was left sitting out for some hours
or if it was sweeter
than the sweetest thing
or if it were rancid and rotted
and maggots were rolling in and out
of this, my dinner cake.
I wouldn't care...
well... then again,
now that I think of it
I can wait.
