Unpronounceable Spice

It’s perfectly okay,
not everyone appreciates the richness of aged whiskey
or the bold punch of dark roast.
Some choose to live their lives
in soft pastels,
sipping lukewarm tea
while navigating the comfort of beige conversations.

As for me,
I’m a dish of exotic spices,
a tune you misremember but can’t shake off.
Your loss,
though I have to say,
it’s somewhat amusing to see you
pretend your boiled chicken
is anything but flavorless.
