Not Powdered Sugar THIS Time

by JennyGordon

Nope. (sonnet #MMMMMMMDCCXCVI) I lick my finger slowly, with a sense In closing as of stealing frosting, pale As aught compare, th'espresso's foam detail Tinged subtly with milk's sweetness for intents, Like that finale suited for it hence, The rainy blacktop half dried in betrayl, While minutes tiptoe by on wings more frail Than insects' glassy touch we note from thence. Prepare their lunch with baggies for as twere Thin cleanliness, cuz honey's sticky to A fault; cube our potato like in tour What, eh?  I tossed my brother's typed note, knew Not that twas worth aught, and discuss how poor Tis that all's typed, not writ by hand.  And you? 21Mar19b
