		<description><![CDATA[Brides and grooms
shove fists full of white icing
into each other&#8217;s mouths.
The video implores,
&#8220;Eat cake.
Be sweet. Be sweet.&#8221;
When there was no bread
She said
&#8220;Eat cake.
Be sweet. Be sweet.&#8221;
Dates and sugar
Coconuts and mangos
Arrive in the boats
The sailors say
&#8220;Eat cake.
Be sweet. Be sweet.&#8221;
When this life is done with me
That may be the time to
have my cake
and eat it too.

Noah and Ahab float away on a raft
Gulliver is in charge now
But how does it begin
The end is there
I write this poem backwards
A soup bowl of quantum level chaos
I began to wail.
“Why haven’t I been given the standard instructions regarding the life rafts?!”
I reported on deck but the captain said

Awake with the leaping fish
Glint catches the eye
Beneath the settled stillness
We look for another glimpse

When I started watching it there seemed to be some overwrought elements, too many visuals and tricks and so forth but as it went [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=initalics.wordpress.com&blog=2939447&post=58&subd=initalics&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
