making a cake

Add the flour
Not too much
Or the cake will be too dry
Add the sugar
Not too much
Or the cake will be too nice
Add the salt
Not too much
For it won't be heard by the rest of the ingredients
Add the eggs
Not to much
For people will be shamed for adding another being in its life
Add the baking powder
Not too much
For it'll be too fat and ugly
Add the rest
To hide the pain
That's deep inside the cake itself
And when it's done with itself
Burn its sorrows away
