April is National Poetry Month. Over at Writers Digest.Com, they're running a Poem A Day Challenge. Today's requirement: Origins.
Swiss Cake Roll
From Heaven you descend
cradled in cardboard
wrapped in celophane
boxed and protected under the eyes of our saviour
Little Debbie.
We give thanks when we lay eyes upon you
delight in the sweet nothingness of your scent
let you guide us to the rim of our milk glass
smiling, as if all life were, indeed, good.
Factory, wherever you are
factory, kind and benificent
factory, a world unknown and yet so well known
Delivery truck, Hell on Wheels
Delivery truck, the angel on wing
Delivery truck, driver, restock those shelves
Eggs, butter, sugar, butter cream
rolled upon the table, log of delicious dreams
with a will that is absurd
we love you dearly, swiss cake roll,
unless you're filled with lemon curd.
