potato salad

there was a time
when you looked
into your
refrigerator
to find seven
styrofoam boxes
full of leftovers
from the week
of going out
and eating bad
food in expensive
restaurants.
soggy noodles,
hard steaks,
crabless  crab
cakes, and buttery
beans and potatoes.
but now, there
is a giant
bowl of potato
salad that you
made just for me.
