Sex Or Cake

Some days I feel like going out and eating cake;
I think of cheesecake with chocolate sauce, waiting 
in the deli-cafe window for someone to eat and scrape 
the crumbs and sticky sauce from the china plate

And then there’s lust: lust for that which is out of
Reach to the fat, the obese and overweight

But then there’s always sex, a sure back up in hard
Times?
No…because sex isn't cake.
