Artichokes and avocados
Recalled from childhood, tasted anew
Prickly spines, textured rinds
Not salty, not bitter; nor sour, nor sweet
Complex taste, rewarding beneath

Culture and context
I lived it before; I study it now
Painful lessons, endless confessions
Not false, not true; nor wrong, nor right
Symbols fascinate, cascading inside

Emotions and expressions
While feeling one, I say another
Gloves of cotton, mask not forgotten
Not fancy, not plain; nor loose, nor tight
Honesty valued, clarity receding
