AD.

My mind can be fecund
like the syrup of fresh ground coffee and chocolate cake
sums and words piled and cleaved, shuffled cards,
cash registers dinging compiled code
clean with dustpan and broom

My speech can be distinctly sparse
yet complete, or I can dole ladles of cadence
choice paint

My manner smooth
as grace

My appetite selective
as a plate of crudites to earn
just a bit of sugar, please
then I’ll brush my teeth

~ Lady
