The Great Roberto

Cooking bare chested to avoid staining

his good shirt, he stirs the risotto,

pours champagne into crystal flutes, sews

black bass into parchment painstakingly.

What we want to know is: Where’s your bed?

The apartment is 300 square feet

and we can’t locate it. No—really,

where is it? He waves at the long banquet

table and the cocktail bar he’s improvised

with a board and French linen: Relax.

Do you know the trick to risotto? He extracts

a one-ounce orange box, passes it before our eyes:

Truffle powder. A pinch. His long fingers

linger wand-like above the pot—then flicker.
