oh, i'll just have a salad

she doesn't order much.
because she's
on a diet,
a vegetarian, and
it's beach season.
she wants to fit into
her yellow bikini by july.
she gets 
a garden salad,
sparkling water.
i get the steak and garlic
mashed potatoes,
french fries
and buttered vegetables.
a basket of bread.
her fork is in
my plate the whole meal.
we need ketchup
she says,
putting a long french fry
into her mouth.
she asks me if i'm having
dessert too.
