Scrumptious
sensual
SHERRY CAKE
the memories
of such
are so sweet,
SHERRY CAKE
back to moments
of no great worries
nothing to fear
nowhere to hurry,
jump forward
to now:
the blast and
the prime
a schedule that
angles to
wild and sublime
but mostly requires
the utmost of care
time/love/energy
buyer beware,
we traveled to
FANCY for my
special day
and found the
Fab restaurant
in sorry decay,
but life has
taken such
hairpin turns
it makes me
wonder and
truly yearn
for the times
of simplicity
no eithnic diversity
not polictially correct
a détente to connect
all the dotted lines,

humans who talk
from both sides
of their mouth,
pretend to go north
when they really
head south,
I long to refine
the falsetto taste
bittersweet alcolades
the life made
in haste,
fill empty pages
with heaven
and lace,
just savor the
SHERRY CAKE
down to the crumbs
live life in
harmony
where loving
is plumb,
bring back
the caramel
and my mother’s
good care,
spoon feed a fantasy
but still, be aware
the stakes are
changing
the world
rearranging,
take time
for yourself,
slash the roses
of strife:
be free and sure,
and hang on
to your life!
