Doughnut

You can’t eat a doughnut delicately.

Sugared lips demand repeated sweeps

Of your pasty sticky tongue.

And thick red nectar squirts or drips

No matter how you turn

This golden speckled feast.

So that, jam stained

As a voracious three year old,

You self consciously

Lick and slurp the errant filling

From embarrassed fingers.
