A plate of braised adolescence,
Marinated in organic hormones
And the spice of hectic action.
You want it?
Come and get it.
I'm a dish, after all.
A cheesecake.
A creampuff.
A darling.
A dear.
I'm yours,
A cherry with a stem
Picked and chosen
Slave to teeth that wrench and need
And worry, and pit
Then spit,
And in so doing
Multiply my breed.
