Cupcakes

They say they’re better when made with love.
Maybe I’m too impatient. I need to improve
My method. We used to call them buns.
It’s an unromantic name and now they’re
All about romance. Light with sugar, lemon,
Colour, heart. You know, I had one once.
Mums used to sell them at the school May Fayre.
Yes, they called it that. Now it’s uncommon
Like bun. The time is obviously ripe for
A Cupcake Fayre. Everyone wants more
Of them. They’re in books, magazines; there are
Books and magazines about them. Now are
They the modern substitute for romance?
In a txtng world where a cypher will do
For a feeling? I don’t get the 2 do.
