Love (Sap)

There is a boy
A fat boy
He lives in France
Everyday he walks to the bakery
Everyday he stares in the window
Cakes and pies
Doughnuts and chocolates
He has no money
Not even pockets

Tuesday Afternoon
the fat boy's birthday
he walks to the store
and peers through the door
today he has a coin clutched
and a grin from ear to ear
Bee line for the cakes
"this one here"

He cradles his new love
Down the crowded street
He finds a shady spot
Unwraps his morsel
and begins to eat
On the first bite
his smile turns
There is custard in the middle
He hates custard.
