Sometimes, however—
it tastes like
your idea
was better—quite
a bit earlier
before
it got thicker—back
before you stirred it, not
being able
to resist,
until—
it got smoother,
a little
warmer, and quite
a bit more
equilibrated;
still tangy—
and creamier
now, but
admittedly smacking—
if only
surreptitiously—of
store-
bought dijonnaise.
