Strawberry Shortcakes

A fear of heights is something soothed by a strawberry shortcake. Heading halfway up a trail, for who knows what may be at the top. A better view perhaps, but a slip and slide on the way down that makes you wonder if it is worth the climb to find out. Nonetheless, there is always going to be a strawberry shortcake at the bottom. Slices of fresh berries atop whipped cream and chantilly cake. An angel food foundation for the angel applicant that stares at Paul Klee paintings wondering when it will be her turn to amuse with whipped cream the same way Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass is inspired by party dresses and sugar. Star shaped leaves because this fruit contains my whole inner galaxy. Have a bite of the cosmic bliss that is the personhood of strawberry shortcake.
