The worst taste in the world

is not of curry with too much salt

Or of coffee with no sugar

Not of a chocolate

when you eat it

an year after it’s expiry

Or of your chicken when it is undercooked

The worst taste isn’t of a bitter vegetable

that was churned and churned

to get a bright green juice

to heal your upset stomach

The worst taste is

of anger

as you swallow it deep down

Where it stays

longer than

you want it to

And of its little pieces

that stay in your mouth

with a taste that lingers

just to torture you.
