Old Spice

My greeting to my wife this morning is met by an unexpected reply. She tells me I smell like old kimchi. The look on my face prompts her to add that old kimchi is actually quite aromatic. I reckon it wouldn’t make much of a difference to most people, but I’d rather my fragrance remind her of fresh kimchi.

not one ripple
    on the pond
    the voices in my head
