Forget the Varnish

you've got me wondering
how I'm supposed to keep
the brown sugar in my cupboard from going hard.

the time and the dryness
of our cupboard environments;
piecing him together, yet he falls apart.

I used to have the answer,
used to know the tricks for keeping him soft.

tell me how am I supposed to hold him together?
when he's drying inside; falling apart.

show me how to bring him back;
