“Thanksgiving”

Standing with you

At your kitchen counter,

Learning how to make your

Homemade Noodles:

You were,

As always, 

Kind –

About the mess I was making –

You said the dough sticks,

That’s just part of it,

Like I didn’t see that

Your hands were clean;

After I dumped a good amount of 

Flour on the floor, 

You said well,

I can’t teach you everything

This time Honey,

And I said,

Remember that time I microwaved

Your little crystal dish?

It cracked right in half!

And as you cleaned up my

Tostitos Nacho Cheese-

meets-

Depression Era Glassware

DISASTER,

You explained that,

Some of Nanny’s things

Are from another time, 

DEAR,

And they can’t be

Microwaved.
