Snatch

I am fashioned simply

with ordinary limbs

that twist and bend

in the fashion

you have come

to expect 

because 

the gods baked me

with wheat and honey

to be a simple 

everyday kind of bread

other people 

are beautiful confections 

designed for feasting 

and studded with apricots

or sweet almond flour

they seem 

too good to be true

that is why 

on the coffee table of mortals

I don’t know why 

you would snatch at me 

when all the other choices 

are twice as delicious.
