did you like the cake?
aw some of it was nice
I have made a cake like that
in my own home once or twice
just as fine as that one
which we had some of today
none of it was wonderful
much more the okay
and you can make another
if you know what is wrong
but I am too distracted
from fighting all day long
but I will help you do it
I will come and meet you here
but then may I may find you on
this corner of the stairs
into her head a figure
six o'clock exact
and if she did not come down
it would have been no fact
the truth is of the moment
the believer is to blame
if some off-handed statement
brings thoughtfulness and shame
