We were never alike in many ways,<\/p>\n
but we managed a semblance<\/p>\n
of common ground<\/p>\n
at least where it counts…<\/p>\n
I like spinach and Ricotta cheese<\/p>\n
with buttered garlic sprinkled on top.<\/p>\n
While you have your pepperoni<\/p>\n
steaming hot, straight from the box.<\/p>\n
Will you meet me halfway<\/p>\n
where the picnic tables<\/p>\n
jostle the weeds in the backdrop<\/p>\n
of a Tuscan sky?<\/p>\n
You bring your bottle of wine<\/p>\n
I will pack the the chequered blanket<\/p>\n
and we can sling the sun underneath<\/p>\n
our shoulders and brave the seven seas again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
