Let Them Eat Cake
Jared Nadin
Let them eat rich damp cake
And grow to be large
And gluttonous
Like the living incarnations
Of those gross
And indulgent
Rich, damp cakes.
Let them think wonderful
And envious thoughts
Of those twiggy
Skinny
Vain cretins
Who look at the cakes
With disdain.
Let them rain their wrath
Down
On their skinny
Enemies
And with jagged teeth
Smile
Knowingly
Let them open,
Wide and
Greedy
Arms,
Taunting and tempting
As the gates of
Gomorrah.
