maple on my mind

this morning i went to starbucks. there was a very long line so i had plenty of time to stand and stare at all the beautifully tempting deserts and pastries behind the glass. an ominous force pulled my eyes to the maple glazed scones and i knew it was fate. i lusted for it's dark, silky frosting and crumbly insides. it was a love affair short lived, though i do not regret a single calorie.
