Each Day with Your Acquired Taste
Expected you to execrate
and say “Yuck!”
repulsed by my
weak-willed brokenness.
Instead you dig in
for seconds and thirds,
gripping my hand,
entrenched.
Heroes
may not always save the day,
but often they
inspire others
to save themselves.
Your grit compels
broader palettes.

This is most excellent, heroes came in all shapes and forms, but the most important are often forgotten.
