The Forgotten Dough
Has deflated itself.
Is wan and slack,
trying to hold shape
then giving lifelessly way.
Can find no more sugar
from which to nourish itself
Will still bake (of course)
dense, flat
When it could have been
Soft, airy.
Is me
Ten years into teaching
over-proved,
people wondering how
this happened when no one
paid attention.

Teaching and overproofed go hand in hand!
