confessional

forgive me father for i want to have my cake and eat it too i want to have concepted the cake and sketched it out i wanted to have enjoyed shopping for its ingredients i wanted the experience of cracking the eggs sifting the flour scraping the batter and licking the frosting. i want to have my cake and photograph it too in medium-format black and white and then write a poem about the cake that inspires others i want to paint a painting that will capture the cake for posterity i want to celebrate other cake-bakers and create an online forum showcasing their recipes and after writing a clever short story about cake-bakers i want to return to my poetry journal and set my cake-poem to music with just the right meter just the right chords just the right key just the right instrumentation and  i want to record my cakesong in the studio with other musician friends and in so-doing i accidentally will distance myself from me.

(this is how i am)
