What do I make?

I make art.
I make excuses
I make apologies
I make believe
I make cookies and brownies
        and in doing so I make friends
I make mistakes
I make amends
I make things up sometimes
I make sundaes when I'm sad
        and when that's not enough
        I make off in my car and drive around for awhile.
I make people mad
I make promises--
"I'll make you an offer;
I'll make you see that you're important.
I'll make you happy
I'll make out with you and up with you
        and I'll make off with you into the sunset"
I make things up sometimes
I make believe
I make art.
