Essen

He's always got a jar of mustard in his car
I think he's taking food emergencies too far
He said he found a hot dog in Vegas
Its flavor is something that'll save us

She's stuffing the sausages with inedible snails
She got the recipe from a book of tall tales
I don't think she'll get the nerve to serve them
Everybody she knows doesn't deserve them

Translator's Note:  This is Dima's commentary on German food.  I don't think he's referring to his owners who like mustard and sausage.  Perhaps German food in this poem is a metaphor for awkward social encounters.
