conciliare

i don't like 
being
judged: it's what
i like 
best in you
you reminded
me of
me before 
all my
rules 
were drilled
in: the remembrance
that i had
 furniture
made of boxes
good boxes long
gone. i like you
because 
our first
meal you made
in one pan: you
were so proud
as proud as i
was when i first
cooked my meals
in the only pan i
had: i had so little
and i was happy
and very proud
of me: all 
this i should have 
shared the moment 
i realized we're very 
much the same
