timing

i don't understand,

but go ahead. preserve me

set me on the shelf

like a bottle of wine

you will be better with age

more of an aficionado

perhaps a sommelier

then you will know

my true exquisiteness

you will be able to describe

the way your palate receives me

breathes in my silky tastes

feels my full body on your tongue

but please don't wait too long

for i fear the maid

may knock me over

or my grapes will sour

and you will never

have the chance to

screw your wine key

into my perfectly aged cork
and sip my vintage lavishly
