Icebreaker

When I ordered poutine and beer

You said that I consistently surprise you;

That you had me pegged as a white wine with steamed edemame beans type.

And I did not mention the chilled bottle and soy products waiting patiently in the dark cold of my home fridge

But instead wondered what other assumptions

You had built up around me;

What silly expectations I could dispel

With a casual word.
