a pinch of salt

i see the cookbooks,
all gifts,
shelves of them,
all countries
seem to represented.
but few
are visited anymore.
what is there left to learn
about sauce,
she says,
or heat,
or measurements.
i know what they like,
what i like,
so cook that.
no need for spoons,
or cups,
scales.
a know a pound, a quart,
a gram,
by feel.
i feel it in my hand, my
arm.
when i learned what
a pinch of salt
was, it freed from books,
cookbooks,
forever.
