choose the treat. how to sugarcoat forgetting? it shall be sweet, they say. it shall soothe the aching soul.
choose, as if it would make a difference. and it does, rest assured. it does.

pan dulce? soft, as my complacency.
pastel de tres leches? white as my innocence. and obese, obese, like my ignorance.

choose, for it shall matter. it shall matter how one drafts temptation in a tempest. it shall matter how life is sustained in desolation. and be not greedy, for this desolation is mine as it is yours.
