We eat the top of your wedding cake.
Its stale sugar pieces cracking in our teeth
It’s good luck to consume it
on your first anniversary
But we don’t know that, we’re just kids,
pulling it down off the top shelf
We hide in our closet eating stale cake
listening to the screaming downstairs
The plastic bride and groom
sucked clean of all their sweetness
