Agreement in Verse

Do you know
that the key to my heart
and the cupboards is missing?

I heard you
and she have a spare.
All is well; I will wait

for the locksmith
is busy. Which keys
does his specialty

store make these
days? ‘Cause whichever
is best are the ones

I request.
But they must be alike:
where each one is the same as

all others,
and all are the same
as each one. For the way

to men’s hearts
is their stomachs and via
the locked kitchen cabinets.

- Joshua Levy
