I wanted to tell you
about my introduction to 
THAI food

I can't remember how old I was

the center
that had the RadioShack 
I don't remember 
what had been
in the building where the Thai place went in

BUT 
it was YEARS before the RadioShack even
THOUGHT about having PROBLEMS 
it was a block OVER
from where I 
WAITED
for the
BUS

I was already
FAMILIAR 
with chinese food
BUT 

WHAT
was THAI food

I believe that location is still a Thai restaurant 
NAME has CHANGED 

I loved the food -- I don't remember what I had
BUT, I remember thinking 
THAT SAUCE 
that sour spicy sweet liquid stuff

that's GOTTA be 
ONE of the BEST things 
EVER invented

I really LIKED some kinda
HOT POT 
that I haven't really 
NOTICED
as an adult

I've been going to Thai buffet for years
because it's cheap and easy
BUT 
they closed down

they had a fried tofu
in that sauce
& an spicy eggplant
& they had sushi
that was ok

green curry
spicy fish

they'd have other stuff

BUT 
I MISS that place

what do you call that sauce
