Cheat (Free verse) by PsydewaysTears
Ding!
Order up.
You said you wanted me.
I have peeled back the layer that disagrees, clipped off the hardest
husk and arranged myself in neatest folds. I am as soft as a smile
waiting to be noticed.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Have you ever seen the end of a smile nobody noticed? The heat escapes.
It shrinks. The flavor changes. The chef resigns a heavy heart and
silently gives it up to oblivion.
Jingle-jingle.
The door swings wide for the enormous, anti-expression you are wearing.
You move like a person with a full stomach and an empty conscience. Oh,
what other chef? Oh, what other order? You said you wanted me
