the secret recipe

i tell her to turn

her head

as i make scrambled eggs

in the morning.

no need

for her to see the secret

of my success.

my secret ingredient

that make

my scrambled eggs

the best.

and when she sits down

to eat them

and smiles,

and asks if i put jalapeno

peppers

into the mix of onions

and cheese,

milk and whisked eggs,

i'll answer maybe

to her

lucky guess.
