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
