It Isn’t A Riddle Unless You Don’t Know the Answer

                  Crossing the lawn in heels I wobble, 
but laugh and say I'm just here to aerate the soil.

                  I too love layer cake with buttercream 
and like you, I don't quite know what to do after it's gone.

                  Do you sometimes feel you skipped childhood because 
all your clothes were in somber colors like olive and grey?

                  After a storm, tree limbs litter every street 
like the products of very long division.

                 Perhaps the truest sentence I heard today was about putting 
two unlike things next to each other with no explanation whatsoever.
