I don’t lust for money, sex,
fame, power, or legacy.
I yearn for Italian food
I ate when I was young.
Pizza, lasagne, fettuccini,
Italian wedding risotto,
spaghetti, meatballs,
parmigiana, gnocchi,
ah, the list goes on.
But no, I must eat
heart-healthy food
to live the perfect life.
But is a life
with no real passion
a perfect life at all?

Ah, that is the key, and the question reveals what the answer will shy from.
