The poem personifies a pastry from Tatte Bakery as a seductive figure, drawing the speaker in with its glossy appearance and creamy allure. Despite an awareness of diet and health concerns, the speaker succumbs to this temptation, illustrating a conflict between desire and self-control. The act of ‘devouring’ the pastry signifies a moment of blissful indulgence, while the mention of returning home to a Beacon Hill apartment hints at an urban lifestyle immersed in local culinary delights.
You leer at me, seduce my senses, from the glossy glass counter at Tatte Bakery & Cafe flaunting your crispy flaky pastry, your swirling whirls of clotted cream.
Until I lust for you, dismiss my diet, ignore the cholesterol, the added inches, but I shall put an end to your siren ways.
You will never tempt another, I devour you whole. As I run to my Beacon Hill apartment showing.
