Food and Writing

How is it

we can take the batter

of this lumpy, mixed-up life,

all the wrong ingredients,

too much beating,

rancid flour,

and still wind up with

a pretty good cake?

When I write, 

I write the way 

I want my life to be.

When I eat,I eat the words 
I cannot say.

Kim at Poets United's Verse First wants us to write on the topic of Food and Writing.
Hmmmmm..........the first regurgitates some lines from an earlier poem. The second popped out and made me go: "whoa!"
