You tell me you don’t like expectations, you tell me
you’re unpredictable. I’ll correct you. You’re
unreliable. Undercooked, limp and pallid,
overcooked, hard and bitter. I never know
what to expect. I’ve ordered you
again and again. I have a memory
of you. No I have a memory of you as featured in the advertisements, so full
you’re overwhelming. So full
you’ll satisfy. I order again
again. It’s the same
every time.
Disappointing.
