Steak dinner
perfectly cooked.
impeccable presentation.
one single bead of sweat
on her forehead.
boys, when done, get up
from the table
before her.
kiss her thank you
(make it a tradition).
clear the table.
pour her a glass and lead
her to the sofa.
leave the kitchen spotless
for her. every grain on the
cutting board;
one of her beads.
nothing is holier than one
that feeds another.
season gratitude with
effort.
it isn't rocket chivalry.
it should go
without
saying.
