Baker’s Lament

My brownie recipe has died.

/Is dead to me.

I think that recipe worked by magic
by a particular magic
that was only available in one kind of space and time and since we moved

-mnoop-

it’s gone.

I know it’s the recipe because I’ve Tried Everything

I know it’s my failure because for god’s sake

who has this much trouble making brownies.

This means something about me, I know it, I know it even if I know it
doesn’t

-they’re like bricks-

I think it’s just not a good day.
