The poem is an ode to anosmia, or lack of sense of smell, written from the perspective of someone who was born without a sense of smell. In 12 stanzas, the poem humorously describes some of the challenges of living with anosmia, such as not being able to smell pizza, rain, or bad smells, as well as questions they often receive from others. It also touches on finding pride and purpose in living with this condition through raising awareness and having a sense of humor about their experiences.
