it's the MSG

i can't eat
like i used to.
Chinese food, or anything
delivered,
i can't take a bite
of a rotisserie
chicken
anymore.
it's the freaking MSG
they cover
it with.
i season nothing now.
salt and pepper,
is it.
but there are no regrets,
i've eaten
enough Peking ducks,
General Tao's chicken
and fried rice,
crispy beef and noodles
to last a lifetime.
