Truffle Brownies
Melt butter,
Whisk egg,
Stir in mix.
Egg and butter blend,
so that you can’t even tell
they were once separate.
A mix, I tell myself,
finally, something you can get right.
Instructions, easy to follow.
When it’s done, I pour it all
into my greased 8 by 8 by 2 pan.
It’s thick, I think.
Stick it into a breath of hot, hot air,
close the door, trap it inside.
Then I realize: 2 eggs, the box said,
2 EGGS.
Pull it out, mix it in, put it back.
Looks fine, but still I’m haunted by
my big mistake.
