This has always been my favorite poem. “It satisfies my sense of smell… gingerbread / my garden”. It is a poem about man's simplicity and miracles. In my imagination there is a lost chapter of Alice in Wonderland. After the drink that says "Drink me!", after the cake that begs "Eat me!", the adventurous and alien Alice goes down the rabbit hole, away from the usual homesickness and suddenly reappears with a small bottle of perfume containing a ginger root that can be glimpsed inside a pale gold liquid, whispering: “Like This”!
