Acquired Taste

You’re an acquired taste.
The poets already love you,

of course, we talked about it
and we totally get it.

But, that’s our job:
to spot the sublime

just as it comes
over the horizon

and sing about it, so
others might understand

and follow. Trust me
when I tell you,

I can simply look at you
and know that

soon everyone
will know.
