I stand in the kitchen
and take a bite,
leaving the spoon in the box
to go sit on the couch,
scroll, while periodically
looking up at the hockey game.
And then I get up,
walk through the kitchen
to the box on the counter,
take another big bite,
drop the spoon,
and return to the couch.
Moments later,
I get up again,
take a bite,
then sit back down.
During a commercial break,
I get up again,
and steal another bite,
plopping down on the couch
with a mouthful.
I look at my phone,
I check the score of the game,
I get up,
and spoon a bite.
I will do this all weekend,
breakfast, lunch, dinner,
during the NBA Finals
and the Stanley Cup Finals.
Until the cake is gone
or gross,
I will eat it
in little visits,
using the same spoon.
