poetry is more fudge than chocolate cake
maple syrup instead of the tapped sap
one homemade cookie
over a box of storebought
also perfect for
a lyrical Reader’s Digest
or as a movie’s trailer
or even a blueberry snow cone
on a hot summer day
poetry is a small gift
which comes with
a tiny card and tiny writing
that you must read slowly
exactly the way
the writer wrote it
in order to open it
