stir fried rice

the Chinese
family next door does a lot
of cooking.
and bowing.
and gardening.
they're very neat and clean,
orderly.
polite to a fault.
they smile
wryly
at you,
as you refuse to weed,
or cut
the grass.
burning burgers
on the grill.
it feels like you're being
judged,
but you don't really
care.
you wonder what's the best
place
to buy a new wok,
but don't ask.
