For Ashley

October 6, 2008

I hate curd.
But just the word.
I find the food
really quite good,
but the phoenetics
are too absurd.

Call it sematics.
I might be pedantic.
I believe Satan’s name
is nearly the same,
and simply the sound
can make me sick.

But when you said,
“A slice of bread
with this above–
Is it true love?”
I went to the store
and asked for it.
