There's never enough tea*, she said,
a single, cold finger tracing the lip
of an empty mug.

Corrupted is flesh,
Reanimated, vacant  frame,
Carnivorous Bite,

They put me in the oven to bake.
Me a deprived and miserable cake.
Feeling the heat I started to bubble.
Watching the others I knew I was in trouble

They opened the door and I started my life.
Frosting me with a silver knife.
Decorating me with candy jewels.
The rest of my batch looked like fools.

Lifting me up, she took off my wrapper.
Feeling the breeze, I wanted to slap her.
Opening her mouth with shiny teeth inside.
This was the day this cupcake had died.

I have eaten
raw cookie
dough
that was in the freezer

and which
you were probably
saving for a party

Forgive me
it was scrumptious
so sweet
and so cold

A little coffee
And a whole lot of popcorn
Makes homework better.
