The Memorial of the Alley Pizza

How do you taste longing for someone?
It's that salty taste in your mouth
The strong,sour taste you get
Like you've just walked through an alley
And the smell of the alley reeks so horridly
That you can taste it
But, you almost enjoy it.

The taste of a day old box of pizza
Simmering in the July sun
In an old dark alley dumpster
In that neighborhood

The stench full taste is full of memories
Full of laughter and delight
That you used to adore

The opposite of having someone
Having that someone who was there with you
Through the stench
To create the delight.
