Not a perfect fit.
There be rough edges.
Sometimes the floor gets sticky
and dishes pile up
there are mysterious smells,
hasty actions.
But the smooth parts are velvet,
dark chocolate on burning tongues.
Monkfish and Ichi-nokura.
Vivace latte and unknown dessert.
Orchid blossoms that last for weeks.
The innocent are guilty;
the guilty innocent.
