i see kale
in his grocery cart,
as he goes through
the list
his wife made for him.
lettuce,
three kinds,
apples and oranges,
pears
and grapes,
organic wine.
plant based meat.
wild salmon
in a can,
and at the bottom
of the pile,
hidden
is his favorite treat.
a tub of Ben and Jerry's
double
chocolate fudge with
nuts,
and one tub
of butter pecan.
i notice the spoon in
his back pocket.
he looks at me
hoping that i didn't see.
i smile, and wink.
it'll be our little secret.
