some are too sweet
cloying and saccharine
dripping with sugary words
but have no real substance
empty calories
some are too spicy
overwhelming and vibrant
but to the detriment of all else
some are salty
ribald and racy
but leave you parched
some are tart and tangy
some are bitter
some leave you bitter
give me an umami love
meaty and savory
rich and round
the others are fine
for snacks
a desert
a starter
but make my meal umami
make my love umami
make my life umami
and I'll be satisfied
