Green cake
some things i am thankful and grateful for, would have to include
an evening of green food. this was a fine idea to have all the food be green, either naturally or dyed with food color.
when i called the bakery to ask for a green cake with green frosting,
she said,”yes. i can do that.” when i picked it up she said,
“i hadnever made a green cake before.”
i told her, “what a total deprivation, to have ot eat cake that’s yellow or brown all the time.” she seemed surprised.
people are always surprised by thinkingthat’s outside the lines…
but, who drew the lines? my lines don’t line up there. i don’t know why.
it would be easier if they did.
my Mother made rainbow cakes, marble cakes
and pink cakes. those were the ones that interested me most.
the baker asked, “why are you serving green cake?”
i told her, “because i want to. its spring. its a party. all the food will be green.”
she grinned, but i don’t think she’ll ever have a party with green food.
her face didn’t look like she could..
