Next Time
You make dinner
baked salmon
and roasted cauliflower
house white?
your teeth glint
cutlery and wine glasses
clink with quiet jazz
I don’t resist
enough
next time
I’d tell you
I’m not interested
in being oiled
to taste good
to be heated
to the temperature you like
I understand
you cooked
and appreciate
the salmon
and the cauliflower
but next time
you will not
stiffen against me
I would say no
louder
next time.
