just a pinch of salt

all day
she spends in the kitchen.

at last coming out
with a spoon full of sauce.

taste this, she says.
tell me
what it needs, if anything.

i close my eyes and
taste,
then tell her maybe just

a pinch of salt.

she sighs, and mutters,
i can never please you.

my mother was right,
this will never work.
