I want to be the bread
winner             win bread
I want to bread the win
and start           again
                I want
to dust the counter
with flour        knead
with knuckles
            wait for rising

I want to stay-
      at-home and write
I want to win the home
with                 bread I
want to not
       want
pale      dough in hand
I don't want to
wait     for       rising

be the bread    nothing
to win              be
the flour          be
the clean counter
ready               for the dusting
be        the dusting
be        the flip of pan
warm
dome in hand
