In Sunny Brae, there are houses—
all alike
some look like ones I saw in the kid’s book—
they would let me smile
The other day, I passed a house
in blue and white
with two old elms standing guard at the gate
walls covered with vines—
as if Hansel and Gretel would've gone in
Dim light in the kitchen shined my damp path
All-Bran smell stopped my step—
maybe, or maybe not
I saw you baking through the window
if I knocked the door, if I sneaked into the kitchen
would you be there once for me
I promise I spare your muffin this time...

종종 Nora가, 머핀이, 쿠키가 참 그립습니다.
