Dill Soup Without the Dill

Dill Soup Without the Dill

Cameron Brooks

When I swallowed that cold spoonful
of milky potatoes and onions,

I could tell you had not
tasted the soup yourself.

It was not unlike the way you like
to recommend books you haven’t read.

But that’s fine. I know
you know I like to read.
