three layers

sliced for consumers

throw them away

make fun of it

like it completes their day.

its beauty awhile ago seen

now appears ugly, even from within.

its icing

its frosting

its layers

its cake

sliced by a clumsy nanny's knife take

that i didn't even put up a fight

because they kept me trapped tight.
