Pasticceria Politico

As for the Republicans –
let’s also add the Democrats –
I’d like to offer each a taste

of every careful little pouf
and filigree of the Italian pastries
I pursued and caught last night:

their light firm mango mousse
and slick performance on
a plate seem absolutely what

one ought to contemplate before
deciding how to rule the world.
I’d ask them to look deeply into

every cake-let’s delicate demeanor –
so deftly undertaken! – meditate
on how the pastry chef left

each so finely swirled, replete.
Much is to be learned from
the meticulously crafted sweet.
