Don’t Think
Don’t think that I don’t notice when you don’t
think that I’m looking at you with your knife,
constructing our dinner, you with your phone,
talking about puzzles and love, the things
that matter most, and don’t think that I won’t
remember you slathered with mud, singing
Dylan in the Dead Sea, or the private
you, smiling to yourself as you bring
in the veggies from our garden of life.
