honey garlic chicken wings
by Chris Sorrenti
one of man’s greatest achievements
up there with the wheel
wright brothers and
sliced wonder bread
not too hot
not too tame
with only this, that, and a few other things
mixed in
to give it that special tang
can eat a whole box of them on my own
with a jug of milk
and fresh loaf of egg bread
when it comes to food
that’s how I was raised
no offence to those who enjoy
the sting of curry and jalapeño
I realize an acquired taste
but for me no fun
burned lips and tongue
just give me those honey garlic chicken wings
with a rack of barbecued ribs
mixed in for good measure
