Lessons

One must learn from one's mistakes.
“The pizza's burnt,” this lover moans.
“It's only brown,” I say, “and, if you
Love me, you should try it. Eat, and
Feast on my good wishes. Cherish me,
If not my food.” I watch her push
Away the plate, and learn. Next time,
A pizza, cooked correctly, will be served
To someone else.
