I stand in the kitchen
lights out
crying
eating cold potatoes
and I wonder
what would I tell my teenage self
who laughed with friends
about this exact life
cute little red house
me in a cute little apron
cooking dinner for a man
who won't appreciate it
never me! she would cackle
and I'd have to break the news
yes you
you chose this life
and now look at us
