Chocoate Cake
A Poem About Revenge
How do you react when you're mistreated by someone? Most of us would retaliate,largely in a passive-aggressive manner.
Revenge, however, isn't always sweet. It often, in fact, leaves other tastes in one's mouth. Let's try instead to serve it cold; express our discontent positively.
Chocolate cake
Seems sweet
Sublime cocoa within
Bitter
Bitten into
Voraciously
Chocolate cake
Seems sweet
Sugar crystals turn
To salt when
Bitten into
With abandon
Chocolate cake
Seems sweet
Spongy, soft, soulful
But grates on the tongue
When chewed without
Thought
Chocolate cake
Seems sweet
Cream is slush
When layered way
Too quickly
Chocolate cake
Seems sweet
Eggs used rotten
When cracked
With too much
Gusto
Chocolate cake
Seems
Delicious
But must be served
Cold.

Train
Trains are an integral part of the story of our lives. We seem to be always rushing around like one. Like them, we are always in a hurry, in a constant "zoom" state that does not seem to abate. They represent the perpetual stress we seem to be under, and the constant need to meet deadlines. Yet, when well-utilized, the train takes us where we want to go.
