Step back from the steaming
hissing brew and let it cool
When it feels lukewarm, divide
into smaller pieces like phrases
and short sentences. Beware
of choking on larger chunks.
Brush the pieces with honey
and dust with powdered
sugar. A bitter taste may still
remain. Eat only a few pieces
at a time, as the dish is difficult
to digest. Acknowledge you
must eventually finish it all, as it
is your just desserts. Acknowledge
it was your own ill-conceived
creation and resolve you will
never serve it again. Spend
whatever time necessary
rethinking the original recipe.
