Taste

I love my mouth,
and there's a lot of stuff I willingly put into it
(like umbrella handles,
and other people's water bottle spouts,
and even earwax--'cause sometimes it's worth it),
but there are a few things
that I never want to taste again:
slimy, slimy eggplant,
burnt tinfoil
(although the pink lightning in the microwave
was totally almost worth it),
and defeat.
