Doughnuts

They only come in one shape
those flat oozing flaps of batter,
squeezed, rolled ,shaped to
perfection, ,abruptly abandoned
to a copper of boiling oil
though protecting, with mutual benevolence
their constant, only friend, S.Hole.

Relied on, always there
holding boiling dough together
from spitting pot to slippery slide tube
sugar coated, tumbling in cinnamon
their freedom, expulsion down the slide
conduct in accordance with plan.

Confinement, prison paper bag
rabbit ear twist.
Better to be on top?
or sopping up oily juices and crusty
crystals from the bottom, most
favoured, most flavoured, last one.

No discrimination, special treat
handed to first customer on
the street, paying small pittance
for doughnut delight. Destruction,
on first bite of the golden halo,
S.Hole destroyed, malformed, on strangers
chin, dripping oil, cinnamon sugar lips.
Perfect S.Hole no more.

H.L.

Yum, makes me want to eat one right now. My favorites are Bavarian creme, Angel creme, and apple fritters.
