Don't Forget The Sadness

Sadness gets mixed into everything we do, like your one tear that fell into our coffee. I think how it was the perfect miscegenation of spirit and earth for nothing is ever pure in this world, but neither is it puritanical: for we will never abdicate control! It is just the meniscus of egg white dropped into a bowl, touching the flour; it is round globes of oil which resist mixing with the opaqueness of cold milk; the separateness of these ingredients is what we overcome, making batter our mouths know is true and so inclines us to earnestly want one more piece of cake.
