a tender flake
his mind melting fast
do you think he's half baked

Thanks, I will add it right away.

He certainly has purpose and value Richard. I'm so inclined to apply this curious write to a snow flake, half baked by Winter's tempermental air. J.A.B.

Four meanings, tender flake as in tender flake pie crust. Flake as in somewhat crazy. Melting as in snowflake and half baked as in inebriated. The actual intent is a unstable individual who is losing himself. He chooses to try and find himself at the bottom of a bottle.
