"Sometimes You Can Get Hooked"
on almost anything. I'm hooked
on Machu Peach U tea from our
local co-op called the Wedge.
Only after I got hooked did the
Co-op run out of Machu Peach U,
leaving me alone with a bastard
who calls himself Earl Grey. I
never liked him—claiming he comes
from Calabria, Italy, and has a
lavender-like bouquet—but I
learned long ago that a man will
say anything to get into your cup.
[Jill Breckenridge, from Sometimes: Poems]
