Cloud Cake

To make this cake 
Open a book
To a page with a poem
Let it take you to clouds

In it hot air balloon of pages and hopes
Harvest the clouds 
Feel for the best ones
The ones you wish to live on

Let that take you down
Into its tractor 
Made of all the poems ever spoken
Let yourself go

Fetch the milk
From a cow of ink
Go up
Let your emotions rise

Find the words that taste like vanilla 
Remember them
Love them
Bring yourself back to earth

Mix all of them together
Bake with the sun
Eat the cake of clouds
Taste the words, the milk, and the clouds
