“you bend down and look closely through the glass
to choose a birthday cake for your favorite niece.
putting aside flavor, you decide on the pink one, covered in pastel confetti sprinkles
when you stand up to order, your heart skips with surprise
at the cute boy looking back at you.
he has puffs of flour on his cheek and nose.
you giggle,
he blushes.”
From Gwiin
