Bacon in the afternoon

From a bar downtown — Asheville, NC

I’d say I’m adventurous,
that I enjoy being challenged,
but I had to
reevaluate my choices
while sipping my Stout
when you ordered a
Bloody Kimchi Haiku
at 2 in the afternoon.

I just didn’t know
if me, and the pickled ginger
would be able to
Zing Zang through the night,
and awaken to the scent
of sake, and us
on my dress
in the morning.
