Why is it that a bite connects,
But verses build a wall?
Why can my mouth enjoy a buffet
Yet ears can't decipher it all?
A taco requires no syntax,
A chorus asks for years.
A curry shares its secrets,
But poetry hides in tears.
Oh, if only words were flavors,
And speech a kind of taste
I’d feast on every language,
Not let a stanza waste.

Oh, if only words were flavors,
And speech a kind of taste
