Inconsequential Events

Inconsequential  Events
Today I woke up.
No chain of events. a diversion from the norm?
Exasperation like copper coins 
Overhead. I bake to forget. 
Aromas of lemon and cinnamon 
Overwhelm me.  So I shed a tear. 
Once I was a sultry brunette.
Today my hair is scarlet.  Fake.

 My cake rises in hue of lemon 
Then explodes.  Crumbles of shells.  
I do solemnly declare my cake an allegory
But allegory for what? 
Guilt? Guilt for having it all.
I am the generation of having it all.
Two point four.

Then I woke up.
Should keep my dreams in check.
My daughter demands milkshake for breakfast.
