In Korean, 바람 relates to “wind” and “affair”

so don’t feed your husband chicken wings

or give a lover shoes. I’ve been mispronouncing gobbledygook

& wondering about Korean fried chicken

as well as old delicacies—chicken stewed in dates and ginseng.

I flew to America with Hodori, the 1988 Seoul Olympics mascot,

and narrow boat shoes. I cried the entire flight.

바람 wind + 피다 to smoke =바람피다 to cheat

my birth-father ran home so fast, the wind burned.
