Crust with no more crunch than a soft pretzel,

forged by the original iron smiths,

is an improper compensation for this two-hour trek

from Rome. The inverted dough UFO traps two cups

of chunky lava, spotted with yellow mozzarella

that remind me of how Pompeii ended.

Now, this is authentic, says Mom,

as she tears into the awkward slice, but I would rather die

from the scorch of the underrated two-dollar price

of my New Jersey hometown.
