the upgrade

i hire a new assistant,
an intern
to help me around the house,
keep track
of where i put my glasses,
or keys.
do we have any stamps,
i'll ask her as i do my bills.
top drawer she answers.
she makes my bed, makes
me cookies. puts fresh
flowers in a vase. she
rubs my shoulders when
I've had a long day at
the office.
sometimes she'll hold
my hand when we watch t.v.
or give me a kiss
for no reason whatsoever.
i'm thinking of giving
her a raise, an upgrade
of status. she deserves it.
