The Burden of Eating Cake
What if you had your cake and could eat it too?

The Burden of Eating Cake

Around my neck
I wear the rewoven, frayed ends
of unraveled alibis which
I have mended
to suit my conscience.

How unfortunate
that as I eat my cake,
each dirty crumb dropped
on my falsely woven napkin
tightens the grip
around my throat until
I choke with regret.
