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.
