I Wrote This Without Thinking of Anyone
I remember the day when we
Were baking cookies it was
So humid in the kitchen that my
Hair got frizzy and my cheeks got rosy.
And I don't know if that was from
The heat of the oven or from
You.
And as the cookies baked we sat and
We chatted, about what,
I don't know. and all I know is
That when you smiled,
Your eyes got small
And when you laughed,
Your head tilted to the left side.
I guess we didn't hear the timer,
We were so wrap-
ped up into each others voices.
And when we checked the cookies
Their edges were black. I
Apologized and said, "We can
Always make more". But you
Told me there was no need and you
Turned to me and said,
"I like the burnt edges".
And I didn't know if
You were talking about
The cookies or if you
Were talking about
Me
