Something Like Love: A Lunch Poem

Becca Klaver

When you have a goal and you say it aloud, that's amore!

When you eat the bacon and toss the rest, that's amore!

When you're sliding into home, that's amore!

When a three-martini lunch gives you what no companion could, that's amore!

When you say NO to things in threes afraid to be twos, that's amore!

When you say NO to things in trees ready to sic you, amore!

When you mug for the clouds and knit your brows for the moon....

When you're caught at the crossroads with mustard in your hair....

When you get to the fork and take it....
