Szechuan Pepper Layer Cake

Days fly by like confetti:
here’s another one already.

Pathetic and forgetful thief,
the human mind is gluttonous

and wasteful: opts for the relief
of overkill in lieu of tasteful:

favors anarchistic battle
and seditious prattle –

nothing for it but to creep
to sleep and let the psyche

somnolently quake – until,
that is, again, it has to wake

and slaver over yet another
Szechuan pepper layer cake.
