Analysis of My Birthday Cake.



My Birthday Cake.

what is this, hidden within a slender box?
is it round, is it soft, is it sweet?

i am sure it is unique.
i am sure it is what i want.

you often ask me, do i think its too round?

i must answer.
that i can see beyond its heavenly shape.
for i can slice through it
and produce a sweet, moist,
slice of delcious cake.

for it is safe to say,
regardless if its round or slender
like an ice cream bar.

i love it.

just the way you are.
